| Iraqi Army Forces and U.S. Special Operations Forces detained five suspected insurgents believed to be part of a Thar Thar region al-Qaeda in Iraq cell during a helicopter assault raid Aug. 4. With U.S. Special Operations Forces present as advisers, Iraqi Soldiers detained the five persons of interest without incident at a residence located in a rural area west of Balad. Seven assault rifles, one shotgun, assorted ammunition magazines, compact discs and propaganda materials were also seized during the operation. The detainees are believed to be members of an al-Qaeda in Iraq cell allegedly responsible for hijacking semi trailers, planting improvised explosive devices on Coalition Forces supply routes, and aiding foreign fighters. |

| #4 One thing I've noted over the years is the Science-Fiction-esque names of the places and some of the people in the middle east. Thar thar sounds like a place name from a Conan novel. "a couple of years ago, they were just another snake cult..." |
