| (VOI) -- The Iraqi army forces arrested two gunmen who were trying to emplace a 10-kg TNT explosive charge in northern Mosul on Saturday, a senior security official in Ninewa province said. "The gunmen were trying to plant the explosive device in al-Qahira neighborhood, northern Mosul," Brig. Khaled Abdelsattar, the official spokesman for the Ninewa Operations Command (NOC), told Aswat al-Iraq -- Voices of Iraq -- (VOI). "The Iraqi forces seized a cell phone and a camcorder in the gunmen's possession," Abdelsattar added. He noted that the charge, which was in the form of a box, contained 10 kg of the highly explosive substance TNT. "The two gunmen are in investigative custody," he said, not revealing more details about the arrest or the organization to which the gunmen belong. |

| #3 Put it aboard a very large, very stealthy helicopter, slave a high-intensity searchlight to it, and zap 'em as they're setting up. Pass the word that Allah has turned his face from those that plant IEDs/EFPs, and strikes them dead with a lance of pure light. The Iraqis aren't as superstitious as some muzlimbs, but after the fourth or fifth attack, some of them would begin to get pretty shaky. You don't want to have the shakes while wiring a bomb. |
