| Iraqi forces swoop in hunt for Saddam deputy |
| 2007-12-08 |
| Iraqi police raided a village near the hometown of Saddam Hussein in the hunt for his deputy Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri, the most wanted former regime official still on the run, an official said on Saturday. Abdullah Hussein Jbara, deputy governor of Salaheddin province of which Tikrit is the capital, said that forces along with members from the local anti-Qaeda front, raided the village of Al-Sada al-Nuaim on Friday after a tip that Duri was holed up there. "The force did not find Duri but did find documents confirming his link with armed groups in northern provinces," Jbara said. The documents included recent letters written by insurgent leaders to Duri and included information on various factions and their operations, he added. One document detailed a planned attack on Mosul's Badush prison that took place in March. |

| #3 Man, we need a new kind of unit. The 4th BN, 523rd Swoopers. Swooper troopers. We should start a school and everything. Maybe they should practice skydiving with that fancy new swooping gear. http://www.geekologie.com/2007/10/new_vampire_2_wingsuit_for_sky.php |

| #2 I thought Izzat was coming over to us. I guess now it's, "Come over or we'll come for you." |
