JEDDAH, 28 August 2005 — The US military in Iraq yesterday said that a Saudi man who supplied and coordinated suicide bombers in Iraq had been shot dead along with another unidentified “terrorist” in the northern city of Mosul.
“Coalition forces killed Abu Khaled, a major facilitator of foreign fighters and suicide bombers in northern Iraq, during operations in Mosul” on Thursday, the US military said in a statement.
Arab News contacted Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki, official spokesmen of the Interior Ministry, who said there was nothing official out yet regarding this particular case and that the ministry was looking into the matter.
About the name “Abu Khaled”, Al-Turki said terrorists often give themselves such names and they are not their real names. He said he would give further information today.
The US military said tips from local residents and intelligence sources led the forces to a location in Mosul, 370 km north of Baghdad, where Khaled was located.
“Upon arrival at the location, the forces stopped his vehicle, a gunfight immediately ensued and Khaled and an unidentified terrorist were shot and killed,” the military added.
It said some detainees had alleged that Khaled had contacted his accomplices in Saudi Arabia to coordinate the movement of foreign fighters and suicide bombers into northern Iraq.

Again we return to the "Saudi connection"...anyone else feel that the Saudis pretend to be fighting the war on terror and yet slipping the terrorists the ok sign when we're not looking?
Why is "terrorist" in quotes?
Great news.
"Again we return to the "Saudi connection"...anyone else feel that the Saudis pretend to be fighting the war on terror and yet slipping the terrorists the ok sign when we're not looking?"
The Saudi's have had as much, if not more, luck in capturing and killing their "Top 25" most wanted terrorists internally than we have had in Iraq.
It's not widely reported but the Kingdom of Saud is waging a very successful war internally against those opposed to the Royal family. How much money their civillians are contributing to the cause is of course a matter of debate.
They're killing their most wanted by the bushel. The last report I saw they had nailed like 22 of 25 from their list this spring. Of course the MSM isn't going to report this but those are the facts.
Hey! We need to be PC here! He is an "alleged" Bomb Mastermind! NO, he was.....
Oh, well. I'm over it

It's all Bush's fault !
