UPDATE: Coalition forces positively identify terrorist killed in recent raid
BAGHDAD, Iraq – A terrorist killed in Baqubah Friday has been positively identified as Thamir Aziz Abbas Ashuri.
During an operation south of Baqubah, Coalition forces targeted Aziz for his role as an al-Qaeda in Iraq improvised explosive device cell leader. Reports indicate he led a group of an estimated 250 terrorists, whom he directed on emplacing IEDs and conducting attacks against Iraq and Coalition forces. He was also believed to act as a judge for an illegal terrorist court system in the area.
As the ground force cleared the target building, they discovered a woman in a room and directed her to get down. Aziz fired shots at the ground force from a corner of that room, they returned fire and killed him. The woman was not harmed during the engagement and one other suspect was detained.
Coalition forces recently conducted numerous other successful operations in Baqubah, including an Oct. 16 raid where Coalition forces captured a wanted associate of an al-Qaeda in Iraq senior leader in the al-Hadid region, a known terrorist stronghold. In addition to the targeted individual, the ground force detained one suspected terrorist.
"Successful operations like these will continue to systematically dismantle al-Qaeda in Iraq," said Maj. Winfield Danielson, MNF-I spokesman.

FR WAR NEWS! More, eliminate more of these murderers. Salute!
WHAT! They didn't mow down this innocent woman. Are they slipping? /s
Really, you know our guys put themselves at risk to avoid killing women and children.
well...she could’ve blown herself up.
This thug has been hunted for some time - This turned into one hell of a firefight by all accounts -
The great news is there is not relaxing with success. Keeping the pressure on is very important.
Abdul Popi Salirman could be killed. I wouldn't know if he was real.
Great news...again we killed another THUG...the hits just keep comin’ ;o)
I want the coalition guy’s authograph.
This was the fight the Associated Press chose to describe in terms of toddlers wearing diapers being killed. I’m thinking there might have been just a little more to it than that. Just a guess.
No.
Perfect would be to've made him drive a vehicle over an IED
Meanwhile, the LSM reports that funeral directors and grave diggers are going through hard times because fewer people are being murdered. They are determined to never report anything good in Iraq.
I lost track, but I think they are working on their sixth string players now.
