AQ Emir & 'The Butcher' of Mosul Captured
2007-03-09
Dead would be better (escapes scheduled for Monday), but some of these may have significant intel value.
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Coalition Forces killed one terrorist and captured 16 suspected terrorists including an alleged al-Qaeda media emir during raids Friday morning throughout Iraq.

In Mosul, Coalition Forces captured an al-Qaeda related suspect known as "The Butcher" who is allegedly responsible for numerous kidnappings, beheadings, and suicide operations in the Ramadi and Mosul areas. Coalition Forces captured five additional suspects and killed one terrorist during the raid.

During operations in Fallujah, Coalition Forces captured two suspected terrorists with alleged ties to foreign fighter facilitation.

Northeast of Karmah, a suspected al-Qaeda media emir was captured along with seven others. The suspects are also believed to be part of an al-Qaeda courier network. "Coalition Forces will continue to target al-Qaeda in Iraq and foreign terrorist facilitators regardless of where they may hide," said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson.

God (of Abraham and Jesus), I hope it was during morning prayers. Never a better time to raid a moskkk than then, in my book. It'd also show (on the ground) that the RoEs have truly been changed. Good huntin' boyz!

#8  That's why it's best we don't "capture" them.

Don't forget, some of them are tasked with going to jail where they can bitch about Koran desecration, spy on enemy security measures, and fling feces at infidels.

The big cheeses, as long as they avoid the giggle juice and the waterboard, can establish secure communications networks via Ramsay Clark and the fleets of lefty lawyers and enjoy three squares a day, a personal imam, and the thanks of a grateful Ummah.

#4  Hang "The Butcher" on a meathook.
Would that be considered ironic?

#2  That would be "Actor/Director/Media Emir", when he was in the Damascus Dinner Theater production of Death of a Salesman.
