| 2007-09-04 |
| I guess not all the Sunni/Baathists got the memo that they're on our side now. 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. |
