An al Qaeda in Iraq leader in Diyala province took his last breath on this planet - thanks to Task Force 88 action in the area that also killed 3 other al Qaeda and captured 10 others. This is how the article over at The Long War Journal describes this dead scum bag:
The article by Bill Roggio doesn't go as far as to name Arkan Khalaf Khudayyir (Karrar) as the one in charge of the operation that strapped suicide belts on the two mentally handicapped Iraqi women who were blown up recently, but you can read between the lines. This guy was a master of suicide bombings and the use of females is certainly one of his brain childs. And now this guy is feeding the worms and that puts a huge smile on my face! : )
More importantly in all of this I want to point out the following section from Roggio's piece:
What very few Americans are aware of is the fact that the Task Force 88 operations have been unbelievably effective over the last six to nine months in Iraq. These forces are tasked with very specific operations - to take out the the leaders, the officers, the senior members of al Qaeda in Iraq cells all over the country. What the public in the U.S. NEVER hears is just how many of these al Qaeda in Iraq leaders have been taken out by this special forces group - I have counted over a dozen in the past four months - that is stellar performance!
If you happen to be an al Qaeda in Iraq leader or senior officer, you don't even want to utter the words, "Task Force 88" - you don't even want to come to terms with it but then again, more than likely you won't know what hit you and took you down. Task Force 88 exemplifies the steadfastness, the efficiency and the effectiveness of our nation's military - how can we ever truly express our pride in these tremendous fighting patriots?
Oh and by the way....Karrar? Can you hear me down there at the gates of Hell? Good riddance, chump.
Karrar was described as a senior intelligence leader for al Qaeda in Iraq’s network in Baqubah. Karrar facilitated suicide bombing attacks in the Diyala River Valley. This network also has been responsible for attacks in Baghdad, “to include attacks by female suicide bombers.”

Arkan Khalaf Khudayyir, also known as Karrar, was killed during a raid by “Coalition forces” in Khan Bani Sa’ad on Feb. 17. Multinational Forces Iraq uses the generic term Coalition forces to describe Task Force 88, the special operations hunter-killer teams tasked with dismantling al Qaeda in Iraq’s senior leaders and wider network.

Senior al Qaeda in Iraq intel officer killed in Diyala
By Bill Roggio
February 20, 2008
Baghdad has seen a rash of females used as bomber recently. On Feb. 1, al Qaeda in Iraq used two mentally disabled women to conduct attacks at markets in Baghdad. The bombs claimed the lives of at least 73 Iraqi civilians and wounded more than 167. The women were later confirmed to have Down's Syndrome. A director at a Baghdad mental hospital was later arrested for recruiting the women for the attacks. On Feb. 17, Iraqi soldiers in Baghdad stopped a female suicide bomber before she could reach her target. A female suicide bomber killed 7 Iraqis and wounded 15 in an attack at a traffic circle in Khan Bani Sa’ad on Jan. 16.
While Iraqi and US forces have had success denying al Qaeda in Iraq a safe haven in the Diyala region, operations against the terror network continue. On Feb. 9, Multinational Forces Iraq reported al Qaeda’s network in the Miqdadiyah region has been disrupted, and has moved to an unspecified location in Diyala province, along with other al Qaeda regional networks from Tikrit, Tarmiyah, and Baghdad.
“Numerous reports indicate members of these networks are associated with al-Qaeda in Iraq leaders operating in Tikrit, Tarmiyah and Baghdad,” Multinational Forces Iraq noted in a press release. “The network is allegedly responsible for an increase in suicide attacks in the Diyala River Valley and the construction of house-borne improvised explosive devices, anti-aircraft activity and false checkpoints. The region also serves as a key logistics pipeline for terrorists, supplies and information.”
Task Force 88 killed four al Qaeda operatives and detained 10 during a series of raids in the region. Thirteen house-borne improvised explosive devices and multiple weapons caches were found were destroyed during the operation.
While the area where al Qaeda's networks has regrouped has not been named, Multinational Forces Iraq has reported numerous raids against al Qaeda in Iraq’s networks in the Hamrin Mountain region. The Hamrin Mountains, which span Diyala, Salahadin, and Tamin provinces, are believed to be a major fallback position for al Qaeda in Iraq and allied insurgent groups.
