TAJI, Iraq - Iraqi Army Scouts, with U.S. Special Forces as advisers, detained the suspected al Qaeda in Iraq leader of the Old Za'ab Village during a driven raid Sept. 3 near Kirkuk.

The suspected leader's cell includes former Ba'ath Party, 1920th Revolutionary Brigade, Islamic State of Iraq, New Ba'ath Party and El-Huk Brigade members. Additionally, his group is suspected of orchestrating attacks in Ninewa, Salah ah Din and At' Tamim provinces.

During an earlier operation Sept. 1 in Za'ab, Scouts were able to detain the leader's deputy, a wanted member of the former Ba'ath Party. In addition, the village is believed to be a safe haven and planning node for synchronization of al Qaeda in Iraq forces.

More than a half dozen propane tanks and wires, 125,000 Iraqi Dinar, and assorted documents were seized during these operations.

No Iraqi or U.S. Forces were injured during this operation.

Little by Little, one by one...

Reading these successes make me wonder, what would be our position over there now if we had taken Fallujah on the first attempt, instead of letting them regroup because we were being so p.c.....

GOOD! Now question them “forcefully” and if you don’t like the answers your getting, start shooting them in front of the other subhumans until either you start liking the answers or they’re all dead. Then maybe shoot the rest anyway.
