| Al-Qaeda networks disrupted; three terrorists killed, 19 detained |
| 2007-12-07 |
| Coalition forces killed three terrorists and detained 19 suspects during operations Thursday to disrupt al-Qaeda operations along the Tigris River Valley. Coalition forces captured a wanted individual during an operation northwest of al-Khalis while targeting alleged associates of the terrorist network north of Baghdad. The wanted individual is believed to be involved in the networkÂ’s car-bombing operations, to include procuring and delivering vehicles for attacks. As the ground force arrived at the area, an armed man emerged, maneuvering west of the target building. Perceiving hostile intent, Coalition forces engaged, killing the armed man. The ground force detained five suspects on site in addition to the targeted individual. South of Yusufiyah, Coalition forces captured another wanted individual believed to be associated with the terrorist network in southern Baghdad and suspected of planning a potential attack on Coalition forces operating in the area. The suspect also reportedly has ties to foreign terrorists and senior al-Qaeda leaders operating in the Arab Jabour and southern Baghdad area. The wanted individual identified himself to the ground force and was subsequently detained along with another suspect. North of Mosul, Coalition forces conducted an operation targeting an alleged al-Qaeda in Iraq leader operating in Hawijah involved in weapons and financial facilitation. The individual reportedly commands numerous terrorists, whom he uses to conduct assassinations targeting Iraqi security forces. As Coalition forces entered the target building, a man armed with a knife lunged at their position. Responding in self-defense, they engaged, killing the man. Also in the building, the ground force discovered a man wrapped in a blanket with wires protruding out of it. Perceiving hostile intent, they engaged, killing him. Additionally, six suspected terrorists were detained on site without incident. In another operation, five suspected terrorists were detained north of Bayji while Coalition forces targeted an al-Qaeda in Iraq member associated with weapons and foreign terrorist facilitation. "These operations are further examples of the progress we've made against al-Qaeda in Iraq senior leaders," said Maj. Winfield Danielson, MNF-I spokesman. "We're continuously pursuing them, finding the places they hide and disrupting their ability to attack innocent Iraqis." |

| #6 Hey, davdov, check out Sabrina up there on the Rantburg Defender-Scimitar and Times-Picayune. Be careful, though, so you don't fry your eyeballs. She's the real thing, dude. Not a fairy tale like your 72 virgins. And ya don't even have to martyr yourself for her. All you gotta do is treat her like a human being. Now, if that's a cruel agenda then I'm a masochist. |

| #5 Three cheers for the "un justified cruel agenda of USA"! I can't help noticing that in their zeal to liberate the rest of the world from the aforementioned cruel agenda, the jihadis seem to be killing an awful lot of muslims. |

| #1 There have been an awful lot of 'suspected terrorists' detained during the surge - several times the number killed. I wonder what happens to them - how many are quickly released for lack of evidence, how many are released by Iraqi authorities for 'special considerations', how many go to trial and are acquitted? Or in the other direction - how many succumb to their wounds or die during the stress of interrogation (by Iraqis), how many are convicted and go to prison or the gallows (and how long does the process take), and how many just disappear? |
