FOREIGN FIGHTER FACILITATOR KILLED
2006-12-24
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces positively identified a terrorist killed in an operation December 7 near Thar Thar as Fahd al-Saudi.

Fahd Hilal Awidh al Salifi al Maqati al Utaybi, aka Newman! Nu'man, aka Fahd al-Saudi was an Iraqi based Saudi foreign fighter facilitator and a member of an al-Qaida in Iraq operations cell in the greater Ar Ramadi area. During the operation, Coalition Forces attempted to stop the vehicle and detain the four terrorists. The terrorists resisted forcing Coalition Forces to fire into the vehicle. None of the occupants in the vehicle survived.
Heh.
Coalition Forces recovered an AK-47 and three pistols from the terrorists.

Fahd al-Saudi previously operated in Yemen as a foreign fighter facilitator responsible for sending foreign fighters to Iraq. He fled Yemen after Saudi and Yemeni authorities initiated investigations on his family and close associates due to indications he and his Yemeni-based group were planning external terrorist operations. Intelligence reports also indicate he assisted Malaz Prison escapees by arranging their travel and safe-haven in Jeddah.

These and other foreign terrorist facilitators are killing innocent Iraqis daily and attempting to prevent the peace and stability Iraqi citizens deserve.

#5  Sgt.: Corporal, how many clips did you use ?

Corp: Just six Sergeant.

Sgt.: Awright, don't waste so much ammo next time. After they're dead 3 times, stop firing.
