TERRORIST CHEMICAL EXPERT KILLED IN BAGHDAD RAID

Release Date: 5/8/2006

Release Number: 06-05-08P

Description: BAGHDAD, Iraq – Ansar al-Islam member and chemical expert, Ali Wali, was killed May 6th at approximately 1 p.m. during a counterterrorist raid in the Mansur district of Baghdad. Iraqi civilians transported the two bodies to the morgue where Coalition forces later confirmed the identity of the wanted terrorist, Ali Wali. Neither Iraqi nor Coalition forces were able to confirm the identity of the driver, who was killed.

Ali Wali, full name believed to be Abbas bin Farnas bin Qafqas, was a 37 or 38-year-old Iraqi Kurd who served as a key leader in Ansar al-Islam’s military (operational) command responsible for training and military operations (terrorist activity) to include the planning of suicide operations (bombings), ambushes and kidnapping.

Ali Wali was also an expert in the implementation of explosives as well as in the use of artillery, tanks and anti-aircraft weapons.

Ali Wali allegedly was an expert in toxins and poisons.

1986: Ali Wali lived in Afghanistan where he received training and instructed (taught) on military tactics for over a decade. Prior to 1998 Ali Wali was a member of the Islamic Unity Movement of Kurdistan.

1998-2001: Ali Wali, having moved to northern Iraq, provided instruction in terrorist tactics, explosives, and weapons handling to provide training to Ansar al Islam members.

2001: Ali Wali was imprisoned for approximately three months while returning to Iraq from Afghanistan for false documentation.

2002: Ansar al-Islam members to include Ali Wali were allegedly manufacturing liquid containing ‘poisons’ in northern Iraq.

Well, that's just a crying shame. [giggle] Job well done by all involved!

Ali Wali? Is that the Arab equivalent of Rolie Polie Olie? With a name like that, I bet the other jihadists were always stealing his milk money.

>> Ali Wali was also an expert in the implementation of explosives

I wonder what the writer thinks "implementing" an explosive means.

Ali Wali puddin' and pie,
Blew up girls and made them cry.
When the boys came out to play,
Ali Wali blew them up too, from a safe distance.

sorry...this can't be true. The Rats, via, MSM assures us there was no Iraq-Terrorism link; no terrorism training camps in Iraq... oh wait..it's no Al Qaeda links to Iraq. Nevermind !

Sure looks like some good intel and follow up work on these isolated raids. High value targets captured. Surfs up boys, get onto your boards and take a real long breath.

"One of the five suspects detained is believed to be a senior al-Qaida associate. All are currently being questioned for their level and involvement in terrorist activity."

"The arrest of Abu Aisha may have spurred the attacks, as he can now compromise his network while under interrogation. His network is aware he is missing, and now are forced to "use it or lose it" as Task Force 145 is likely on the hunt."

Things are on the uppity up that is for sure.

“Ali Wali, full name believed to be Abbas bin Farnas bin Qafqas”


Ali-Wali, full name now believed to be "Ah bin furnis’d bin Qa-fuqas"!

And thank you for the laugh! Just for that, I will write you a (very short) Panzerlied. (So maybe it was Ogden Nash, who's fussy.)

If called by a Panzer
Don't anzer.

From my new book of Panzerlieder (page 2)

She said that you took every chanzer,
To romanzer -- it enchanzer!
But you never got yes for an anzer,
Though you tried -- how you tried!
When you said you got into her Panzer,
(Are you ready for this...?)
You lied!
