| Al-Qaida in Iraq leader killed in 'suicide vest' | ||
| 2007-08-30 | ||
| The U.S. military in Baghdad says a leader of al-Qaida in Iraq was killed after grabbing a soldier and attempting to detonate a "suicide vest." Brig. Gen. Kevin Bergner, spokesman for the Multinational Force Iraq, told reporters Wednesday operations in Tarmiya, a small town in the northern part of Baghdad Province, "resulted in the death of Ali Latif Ibrahim Hamad al-Falahi, also known as Abu Ibrahim, an al-Qaida in Iraq leader who oversaw terrorist operations in the northern belts of Baghdad. He was killed after he grabbed a coalition soldier and was attempting to detonate a suicide vest."
"He kidnapped and murdered Iraqis, including a 9-year-old girl, to intimidate local citizens," Bergner said, "and his group was also likely responsible for the April 12 bombing of the Sarafiyah bridge here in Baghdad."

| #7 Maybe God can reconfigure a small portion of Hell to meet your specifications, Mojo. We can always hope. If there was ever anyone that deserved it, this POS does. |

| #6 "Gut shot and left to wander the desert in agony until he dies?" I asked hopefully. "Nope. Dead as a doornail on the spot." "Damn!" |

| #2 I would surmise that the vest must have been a two step activation trigger, and not with a 'deadman switch' (one wouldn't want to prematurely explode before mission certainty!!) This gave the time for him to be stabbed or sniped on the spur! |
