ISOF detain suspected Al-Qaeda emir
2007-08-08
Iraqi Special Operations Forces, with U.S. Special Forces acting as advisors, detained a suspected al-Qaeda emir in Radwaniyah.
"Right this way, effendi. Will you hold the door for us, Lieutenant? His Excellency seems to be having a little trouble walking just now."
The alleged Sunni extremist commander is believed responsible for conducting attacks against Coalition Forces and Iraqi Security Forces southwest of Baghdad. Another suspected extremist was also detained. Both individuals are currently being held for questioning and further investigation.

#3  Call 'em "emirs", call 'em "imams", call 'em pig-farts - it doesn't matter as long as we continue to roll 'em up and wring 'em dry. This is what should have happened in 2003. I'm beginning to believe either Rumsfeld listened to some bad advice, or he didn't listen to anyone. Either way is bad. Glad Petreus is on the job, with the ROE to do what's necessary.
