| Al Quaeda Iraq Leaders Detained Near Kirkuk |
| 2007-09-04 |
| I guess not all the Sunni/Baathists got the memo that they're on our side now. TAJI, Iraq - Iraqi Army Scouts, with U.S. Special Forces as advisers, detained the suspected al Qaeda in Iraq leader of the Old Za'ab Village during a driven raid Sept. 3 near Kirkuk. The suspected leader's cell includes former Ba'ath Party, 1920th Revolutionary Brigade, Islamic State of Iraq, New Ba'ath Party and El-Huk Brigade members. Additionally, his group is suspected of orchestrating attacks in Ninewa, Salah ah Din and At' Tamim provinces. During an earlier operation Sept. 1 in Za'ab, Scouts were able to detain the leader's deputy, a wanted member of the former Ba'ath Party. In addition, the village is believed to be a safe haven and planning node for synchronization of al Qaeda in Iraq forces. More than a half dozen propane tanks and wires, 125,000 Iraqi Dinar, and assorted documents were seized during these operations. No Iraqi or U.S. Forces were injured during this operation. |

| #4 I think only a moron laps up the "they were bad guys but they're on our side now" stuff wholesale. Some people see the light, smell the coffee, get the memo, what have you. Many more do not... |

| #1 Lets see.... $1.00 = 1,235 Iraqi Dinar. 125,000/1,235=$101.22. These guys work really cheap! |
