505th captures Ma Barqer, six little Barqers
2003-11-20
Thanks to Chuck for the tip!
Soldiers from 1st Battalion 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment captured an anti-coalition cell leader and six others in a cordon and search yesterday in Fallujah. Ma Barqer Kurdia Turkey Ali and her six sons were operating an independent anti-coalition cell. The group is responsible for planning attacks and disrupting coalition activities. They are also suspected of coordinating an attack against a civilian convoy near Fallujah that killed two government contractors. The seven individuals are currently being held for further questioning. Kurdia Ali, the female, is being guarded by female military police.

#7  Delighted with this post. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Kurdia T. Ali nothing more than a Trifling Ho' ? I certainly think so. Good work gentlemen.

I just read that the 101st arrested 161 suspected insurgents
Tibor, please say "captured" instead of "arrested." We are at WAR. Police arrest criminals; soldiers capture enemy fighters (not "insurgents").

#3  I just read that the 101st arrested 161 suspected insurgents in raids today. I also read that we killed 10 guerilla fighters in other attacks. Nice progress.
