UPDATE: Coalition forces positively identify terrorist killed in raid

BAGHDAD, Iraq – A terrorist killed south of Samarra Nov. 8 has been positively identified as Abu Abdullah.

Abu Abdullah, also known as Muhammad Sulayman Shunaythir al-Zuba’i, was a high-level al-Qaeda in Iraq leader for a network operating in the Salah ad Din province. Reports indicate Abdullah was an experienced bomb-maker and attack planner who coordinated numerous attacks on Coalition and Iraqi forces over the past three years, using a variety of improvised explosive devices combined with small-arms fire.

Abdullah was also allegedly responsible for the kidnapping, extortion and murder of local Iraqis, and it is believed he led a group of foreign terrorists, whom he used to conduct his car-bombing campaigns.

Intelligence reports led Coalition forces to a location where Abdullah was operating. The ground force observed Abdullah, fired warning shots directing him to stop and was then engaged by enemy fire. Responding in self-defense, Coalition forces returned fire, igniting the vehicle. The ground force observed secondary explosions erupt from the vehicle, indicating that explosives were inside. Abdullah and an associate were killed during the engagement.

Intelligence indicates that Abdullah had historical ties to the Battle of Fallujah in 2004, and was a close contact of the former al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi before he was killed by Coalition forces in June 2006. Prior to leading an AQI network in Salah ad Din Province, reports indicate Abdullah was a regional Emir controlling AQI terrorists in an area between west Baghdad and east of Fallujah.

“This was a dangerous terrorist who will never again harm innocent Iraqis,” said Col. Don Bacon, MNF-I spokesman. “We will continue to relentlessly pursue terrorist leaders, like Abu Abdullah, who attempt to deny the Iraqi people a future of their choice.”

Man takes wrong turn where being a Jew means death

Ynetnews reported Wednesday a 28-year-old Israeli man narrowly escaped being savagely lynched by a mob of bloodthirsty “Palestinians” when he accidentally drove into the PA-controlled town of Ramallah just north of Jerusalem.

Amir Ochana was reportedly misled by his GPS navigation system and found himself surrounded by Arabs in the heart of the unofficial “Palestinian” capital and seat of the PLO/PA Authority.

He was rescued by a couple of anonymous Arabs - possibly Israeli special forces operating in disguise - but not before he had been physically assaulted and had his cell phones stolen and his car’s windows smashed in by a crowd yelling “A Jew! A Jew!”

According to a number of foreign tourists who have visited Ramallah at different times in recent years, the city seethes with hatred of the Jewish people.

Driven by their demonic and antisemitic religious beliefs, Muslim Arabs in Ramallah and other “Palestinian” areas have frequently leaped at the opportunity to kill Israelis.

In one such event televised around the world, IDF reservists Vadim Nourezitz and Yosef Avrahami were literally torn apart by thousands of delighted “Palestinians” when they drove into Ramallah in October 2000.

Nourezitz’s wife, upon hearing that something was happening in Ramallah, called her husband’s cell phone to be told by the shouting Arab who answered: “We have just killed your man.”

Meanwhile in related news, Arabs in the Samarian town of Kalkilya Wednesday hurled stones at cars driven by Jews, damaging at least three vehicles. No injuries were reported.
