| Suspected Sheik Sattar assassination planner captured |
| 2007-09-16 |
| Coalition forces captured a suspected al-Qaeda in Iraq terrorist linked to the assassination of Sheik Sattar during an operation Sept. 15 west of Balad. The captured individual, Fallah Khalifa Hiyas Fayyas al-Jumayli, also known as Abu Khamis, is believed to be responsible for the death of Sheik Abdul Sattar Abu Resha, founder of the Anbar Awakening, a coalition of tribes in Anbar Province committed to driving al-Qaeda in Iraq out of the area. Intelligence reports indicate al-Jumayli is involved in a plot to kill key leaders in the tribal awakening. He is also reportedly responsible for car bomb and suicide vest attacks in Anbar Province, and is closely allied with senior al-Qaeda in Iraq leaders in the region. Coalition forces raided three buildings while targeting the individual. When the buildings were secure, one of the residents positively identified al-Jumayli. Coalition forces detained three additional suspected terrorists during the raid. |

| #7 First and foremost, however, is his trial by the national government. We're trying to instill a sense of nationalism in Iraq that will supplant the tribalism. And let's see if Maliki can rise to the occasion. |

| #5 This piece of unflushed fecal matter needs to be tried by the central government, and if guilty, be hanged, drawn and quartered, and the pieces distributed among the tribes for their vengence. First and foremost, however, is his trial by the national government. We're trying to instill a sense of nationalism in Iraq that will supplant the tribalism. Handing him over to the tribes for vengence, while giving great satisfaction to the tribes, will hamper that effort. |
