UPI: al-Qaida of Mesopotamia fleeing Iraq for Africa
2008-07-09
Iraqi officials at the Ministry for National Security Affairs said documents uncovered in suspected al-Qaida holdouts in the Sunni areas of Baghdad 'prove these elements left Iraq for Somalia and Sudan.'

'Our intelligence information indicates the withdrawal of certain groups of al-Qaida from Iraq because of the military strikes,' Maj. Gen. Hussain Ali Kamal of the Iraqi Interior Ministry told Gulf News. 'I believe this is the beginning of the complete withdrawal of al-Qaida from Iraqi territory,' he said.

#2  HMMMMMM > Wel-l-l, given my Afghan War cohort's OSama's recent threat agz the VATICAN and its new covert focii on CENTRAL ASIA from the ME, METHINKS THIS TITLE SHOULD BE "ATTACKING AFRICA", NOT FLEEING TO AFRICA.

PROTECTING NUCLEAR IRAN + FUTURE NUCLEAR JIHAD, etc > CONTAINING/KEEPING THE US, ISRAEL, EUROS, etc. AT THE BEACHES AMAP AFAP ALAP FROM IRAN + CENTRAL ASIA.

2008-2012 > US SLEEPS [Back in CONUS], IRAN + ISLAMISTS PEEP AND SWEEP [attack, destabilize].

Lest we fergit, SUN TZU [paraph] > THE ENEMY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR STRENGTHS OR WEAKNESSES, OF YOUR SHIELD, ARMY, CAMP, LEADERSHIP, ....etc.
