| 2007-08-26 |
| Iraqi Special Operation Forces, with U.S. Special Forces as advisers, detained nine suspected extremist militants in two early-morning raids in Baghdad Aug. 23. In southern Baghdad, ISOF detained one targeted individual and three other suspected operatives. The targeted individual is a suspected militant company commander operating out of Hay al Aamel. He has allegedly conducted improvised explosive device attacks against Coalition and Iraqi forces. Intelligence reports that he has participated in the rape and murder of local nationals. Meanwhile, in the vicinity of Shula, soldiers from the ISOF Brigade raided a suspected terrorist cell, detaining two targeted insurgents and three others. The targeted individuals are considered to be assassination cell leaders. Three AK-47 assault rifles with magazines, Iraqi dinar, a computer and various documents were seized during the operation. |

| #2 Anybody catch that last paragraph? It looks like the ISOF is beginning to conduct SUCCESSFUL raids on their own, without US Special Forces advisers. That is a VERY good sign, especially if they target AQ, JAM, and any rogue Kurdish outfits equally. Once they can work on their own without going back to "old" practices, the US can do something else - like crush Iran. |
