FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RELEASE No. 20070726-04 July 26, 2007

Iraqi, U.S. Special Operations Forces detain al-Qaeda leader Multi-National Corps – Iraq PAO

BAGHDAD – Iraqi Special Operations Forces, with U.S. Special Forces as advisors, detained an al-Qaeda-in-Iraq cell leader July 25 in southern Baghdad.

ISOF entered and secured the building where the targeted individual was located without incident. As the occupants were being questioned, one identified himself as the primary suspect. One other suspicious individual who was present during the operation was also detained.

The primary suspect is believed to command an al-Qaeda-in-Iraq cell which operates out of the Jamia area. The primary suspect’s cell is allegedly responsible for conducting attacks against Iraqi citizens using vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices intended to stimulate sectarian violence.

The detainees are being held for questioning. No Iraqi or Coalition Forces were injured in the operation.

Picking up the trash, one piece at a time.

Remember this one from two weeks ago?

You won’t read much about this in the MSM - “if it bleeds, it leads” still applies. But this sort of thing is what will do the job. Kudos to all involved.

Doubtful that he is who he says he is.

Nothing to see here, no al Qaeda here, move along.

Looks like the Defeatocrap’s surge for surrender in Iraq is failing.

But-but-but there IS no al-Qaeda-in-Iraq....

Al-Qaeda in Iraq was always a disinformation tactic by the Bush Administration, wasn’t it?

Ship him to Pelosi’s office and then he can visit with Reid. Birds of a feather so to speak.

Possibly. But hey, he’s one less bomber anyone has to deal with. That’s ok by me.

Bravo to the Special Ops.

Let's give credit where it's due. This raid was carried out by Iraqi SOF, not American. All our guys did was coach the Iraqis, who are getting better and better all the time.

Something about them standing up and our guys standing down? Nah, couldn't be.

Yes, You're absolutely correct...it was IRAQI's pulling off this takedown.

I was just thinking up a little ditty on the spot...but I can switch around some of the lyrics if you feel it's more appropriate.

And I'm so glad that it is the People of the Land between the Rivers who are standing up more and more to deliver the KO's to the Jihadists.
