'Known Al Qaeda Terrorist' Nabbed in Khost(Nah can't be.... or could it?)

US Forces captured a 'known Al Qaeda terrorist' along with five other men, including Saudi and Pakistani nationals, according to a statement released by the Coalition today. The identities of those seized in the Khost City raid have been withheld pending the sensitive nature of the operation

The raid took place at a compound in Khost City. The statement indicated no shots were fired and no one was injured during the operation. Several women and children were present in the compound and a cache of military supplies was uncovered.

The stash included armor piercing ammunition, grenades, AK-47 assault rifles and camera equipment that contained surveillance footage of nearby military installations.

Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters are known to operate and live throughout Khost province which borders Pakistan. Fighters from neighboring Pakistan are also known to easily pass through the border area into Afghanistan on a daily basis due to the rugged terrain and well established smuggling routes.

Counter-terrorism operations launched by US forces targeting al Qaeda compounds in Nangahar and Khost provinces has been stepped up since August, netting and killing dozens of suspected al Qaeda militants.

"Won't be confirmed until WED" That's ok, we'll just null and void the elections and hold them again on Friday after the news gets out.

Militant Islamic forums have been carrying a message appealing to Abu Nasser al-Qahtani to cease making direct contact with people in Saudi Arabia and blaming him for the arrest of 23 people there.

The message says: "The brothers are asking you not to contact anyone in person, but do it through others instead, the leader does not make calls in person. With every call a brother is detained and God help us."

Looks like al-Qahtani was ratted out by his fellow terrorists...

"The population of the United States would drop by 30-50 million as the Dems all committed suicide in mass."

But the IQ would rise by 50% (conservative estimate).
