| Al-Qaeda in Iraq military Emir in Mosul, Released From Prison then Killed |
| 2007-06-13 |
| Coalition Forces killed a senior terrorist leader during an operation Tuesday morning targeting the al-Qaeda in Iraq network in Mosul. Kamal Jalil Bakr Uthman, also known as Said Hamza, was known to be the al-Qaeda in Iraq military Emir in Mosul. Intelligence reports indicate he planned, coordinated and facilitated suicide bombings in the Mosul area. Additionally, he facilitated the movement of more than 100 foreign fighters through safe houses in the area, and orchestrated attacks against Iraqi and Coalition Forces. Coalition Forces targeted Uthman Tuesday as part of their operations to disrupt the al-Qaeda in Iraq senior leader network in Mosul. As they entered his residence, Uthman rushed into another room and reached under a mattress. Coalition Forces, reacting appropriately to the hostile threat, engaged Uthman, killing him. The ground force later found a suicide vest under the mattress. Coalition Forces had detained Uthman during an operation in August 2006. He was released from the Iraqi judicial system in April 2007, and intelligence reports indicate he was planning a six-vehicle suicide bomb attack to avenge his detention. “We have taken another very dangerous terrorist off the streets of Iraq, and we will continue to deplete the senior leadership of al-Qaeda in Iraq,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson. |

| #7 Al-Qaeda in Iraq military Emir in Mosul has been DEmired. DEmired: #1) A quality or characteristic deserving of termination or censure; a fault. #2) Absence of Emirship. #3) A permanent hard mark earned by being a stoopid Jihadi. #4) A mark that is fatal in every instance. ;-) |

| #2 The battery in the transmitter implanted in him was about to die so he had to be re-arrested to replace it, or killed. (I'm making that up, I think, but let's spread the rumor that all the released prisoners are now bugged or spies.) |
