BAGHDAD - US soldiers in Baghdad captured an Iraqi arms dealer and assassination squad leader responsible for trafficking Shia extremists in and out of neighboring Iran for training, the military said on Sunday. U.S. soldiers, acting on intelligence from other Shia militiamen already in custody, captured the Basra-based special groups' leader late Saturday at a hideout in eastern Baghdad, according to a military statement. The wanted man is alleged to be a commander of an assassination squad in Basra, an arms dealer with connections to Iran and a document counterfeiter,' the statement said. He also arranges transportation of criminals into Iran for training, and then back into Iraq, it said. One of the leader's aides was also arrested without incident. |

#3 Old Patriot, I have a solid copper soldering tip that fits on the propane torch nozzle, it makes a supreme branding tool.(Picked it up once when it wasn't as cool as I thought) |

#2 Gorb - that's a bit too much, unless you use it to heat up the branding irons. I much prefer 00 gauge snagging hooks, an old crank telephone or similar device (a cattle prod works nice), raw leather, a rubber mallet, an awl, a few files, a screwdriver or two, a pair of vice-grip pliers, and some resin-filled pine splinters. One of the Koreans that taught me a few things would also be helpful - they've had practice. |
