#1 Here's a little piece from Newsday:
A U.S. Special Forces commander said several dozen Ansar fighters have taken refuge in the mountain slopes near the Iranian border, with a striking view of the Halabjah Valley below.
"We still got a couple of them holed up in caves,â said the commander, who asked not to be named. "We got guards outside. They'll either come out, get blown up or starve to death.â

#2 Don't know if this is a new action or a repeat of previous reports.
Suleimanyah, Iraq, Apr 2 (DPA) Kurdish forces today killed 24 Islamists belonging to the Ansar al-Islam group in northern Iraq, the KURD SAT television reported. Militias of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), one of Iraq's two main Kurdish groups, took three Islamists as prisoners of war, the report said. Amongst the PUK forces, one person was killed and four wounded during the clashes in the Hurman area, the report said.
It's good news anyway.
