Iraq raid nabs al-Qaida smuggler BAGHDAD April 21 (UPI) -- Iraqi forces reportedly captured a reputed al-Qaida commander in a raid in Nineveh Province, the Multi National Forces headquarters announced Saturday. The identity of the high-value prisoner was not released but he was described as a mid-level al-Qaida member involved in smuggling insurgents into Iraq from Syria.
The MNF said the capture was made Friday in the village of Fadiliyah by Iraqi forces who swept in by air early in the morning. There was some resistance from a sentry; however, he was wounded and captured.
Elsewhere in Iraq, the MNF said a U.S. Marine was killed and two were wounded Saturday when their patrol was hit by a roadside bomb about 30 miles southwest of Baghdad.
A car bomb in Sadr City detonated Saturday, killing two civilians and injuring eight, according to Kuwait's KUNA news agency.

...he was described as a mid-level al-Qaida member involved in smuggling insurgents into Iraq from Syria. Gosh, I guess he didn't get the memo from Assad that Nancy Pelosi has made everything OK!

The article will hit the MSM as “Marine killed in Iraq. Oh by the way, a suspected Al queada smuggler was detained also.”

Peloser probably requested more death squads.
