U.S. Troops Still Removing Al Qaeda in Iraq Cells




Yes, the War in Iraq is won for the major part but U.S. troops continue to dismantle al Qaeda in Iraq cells in the country and in the past two days, a significant capture of 10 al Qaeda bombing cell members occurred in central Iraq. Here's some of the details from MNF:



Ten suspected terrorists, including two wanted men, were removed from al-Qaeda in Iraq networks Thursday and Friday, as Coalition forces targeted the terrorist organization in central Iraq.
Coalition forces continued operations to dismantle AQI bombing networks Thursday. In Baghdad, forces captured an alleged AQI cell leader who reports suggest is responsible for improvised explosive device attacks against Iraqi and Coalition forces and Iraqi police.
Also Thursday near Tuz Khurmatu, 70 km southeast of Kirkuk, forces detained three individuals during an operation targeting an AQI leader associated with IED activities in the area.
What I wanted to point out here is that with al Qaeda in Iraq forces literally dispersed now throughout the country...spread thinly and thus less of a threat, the U.S. forces continue to track them down, find them, and either haul their sorry asses in or kill 'em. This is no minor feat and it shows again the precision that our troops utilize in this seek and destroy mission.

One simply cannot express the pride instilled by these fighting men and women in Iraq. Imagine how many civilians and U.S/Iraqi troops are saved each and every day that U.S. troops are finding these scum.



Central Iraq AQ networks targeted; 10 suspects detained

BAGHDAD – Ten suspected terrorists, including two wanted men, were removed from al-Qaeda in Iraq networks Thursday and Friday, as Coalition forces targeted the terrorist organization in central Iraq.
Coalition forces continued operations to dismantle AQI bombing networks Thursday. In Baghdad, forces captured an alleged AQI cell leader who reports suggest is responsible for improvised explosive device attacks against Iraqi and Coalition forces and Iraqi police.
Also Thursday near Tuz Khurmatu, 70 km southeast of Kirkuk, forces detained three individuals during an operation targeting an AQI leader associated with IED activities in the area.
AQI networks in Diyala province were further disrupted by Coalition forces early Friday. In Hafriyah, 89 km southeast of Kirkuk, forces captured an alleged weapons smuggler also believed to be associated with IED attacks in the area. Three additional suspects assessed to be the wanted man’s associates were detained as well.
Two more suspects were netted Friday in an operation targeting a Diyala-area AQI courier in as-Sadiyah, 110 km northeast of Baghdad.

Holger: I tried to send you the Flight 93 blogburst post but got bounced by both of your aol addresses. I don't know if this is an aol thing--maybe they have me marked as a spammer because I send out these blogburst posts to a hundred or so people at this point--but a bunch of aol addresses are bouncing me. Do you by any chance have another email address I can use?
