| NINEWA / Aswat al-Iraq: Security forces found on Tuesday a stockpile of explosives in west of Mosul, according to a source from the Ninewa Operations Command. “A force from the Ninewa intelligence command found on Tuesday morning (June 8) a stockpile of explosives in Sad Badoush region, west of Mosul,' the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. “The operation was launched in light of intelligence information,' he added. |

| #6 I hear from anecdotal and unconfirmed sources that Iran continues to meddle and that the situation remains quite tenuous. Hope that is not the case. Source also said that our troops light up security contractors who put their mission at risk (the contractors are much more likely to kill locals, risking their support, etc.) but that this is never reported. Also said that drug use among our troops in Iraq is high because there is little for them to do. |

| #5 #1 son was shifted from a COP on the Syrian border back to a FOB in Mosul, apparently due to a refocus there |

| #4 That's one of the reasons why I keep posting these short articles from Aswat Al-Iraq. The Iraqi security apparatus, very quietly, is assuming a degree of competence in handling (my guess) 90% of the missions it needs to handle. We're providing training, intel and support. As long as Iraq doesn't revert to strongman rule this whole adventure is going to be a success. |

| #3 I;m just glad the Iraqis seem too be able too do these things on their own with a little bit of supervision. Unlike the afghans who couldn't wpie their own ass if not coming from a tribal leader or cleric/pedophile |
