Iraqi Army, Coalition Forces capture Al Qaeda Emir in Qayyarah
2007-07-18
Elements of the Iraqi Army Second Division, with Coalition Forces as advisors, captured the alleged emir of Qayyarah for Al Qaeda during an intelligence driven operation July 15 in Qayyarah.
"Yer comin' wit' us, yer Emirship"
During the operation, Iraqi Army and Coalition Forces also detained three other individuals at the residence and recovered terrorist propaganda, passports and Korean currency.
"An' yer yapdogs, too. Now hustle, effendi!"
The capture of this individual will disrupt terrorist networks operating in eastern Ninewa Province. The individual has high level contacts in the Al Qaeda network, cells for foreign fighters and improvised explosive devices. No Iraqi or Coalition Forces soldiers were injured in the operation.

#3  The ROKs hand out money as if they have a printing press with them where ever they go. The contractors I have dealt with come to meetings and offer you $500 in bills before negotiations even begin (good will gesture). It takes all of your logic and rationale to explain to them that this is called bribery - which in my experience is SOP to them.

#2  I wonder if the ROKs paid a ransom for their hostage and he was killed anyway:
