Officials: Captured Hezbollah agent helped plan deadly Karbala raid

************************EXERPT*****************************

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A top special operations officer from Lebanon's Iranian-backed militia Hezbollah has been captured in Iraq, where U.S. officials say he played a key role in a January attack that killed five Americans.

Ali Mussa Daqduq, an explosives expert, was captured in March in the southern Iraqi city of Basra, where he was helping train and lead Shiite militias fighting coalition troops, U.S. intelligence officials told CNN.

Daqduq pretended to be deaf and mute when captured, and his identity was not known for weeks, the officials said.

Once uncovered, however, they said he began to talk, and they now believe he played a crucial role in the January 20 attack in Karbala.

Well the good news, I guess, is that we continue to find these pricks and squeeze out info from them, then go after their networks, within the Iraq borders.
Perhaps Putin will leave Maine with the understanding he has to inform Iran, Russian cannot back them up if CENTCOM is given the thumbs up to take them out. But then as usual we have to consider the mad Mullahs who wait with delusion of the mystical bozo poppping out of the well, don't give a *hit.
They must really think they are winners any way the coin is tossed.
