| BASRA / Aswat al-Iraq: Police forces on Thursday arrested 53 wanted men and suspected gunmen and freed a kidnapped person in separate crackdown operations in Basra, a media police source said. “Policemen waged security raids in separate areas of Basra, where 25 wanted men and 28 suspects were arrested,” the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. “The forces seized three bombs and Kalashnikovs,” he added. “Another police force managed also to free a kidnapped girl and arrested her kidnappers in al-Zubeir district, western Basra,” a source from the Interior Ministry said. |

| #1 Perhaps it's just coincidence, or there's an overzealous reporter in Basra, but we seem to be getting a lot of such news from there lately. If it's due to a well-trained, motivated police force that is doing its job at full capacity, kudos upon kudos to them. I also wonder how many of those that are being captured either work for Iran, or come from there... |
