NEWSWEEK: Roughly 300 Qaeda-Linked Kurdish Militants Are Holed Up in Iranian Border Towns; Training New Recruits for Raids Into Iraq

Press Release

NEW YORK, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. and Kurdish security officials tell Newsweek that roughly 300 militants of al Qaeda-linked Kurdish group, Ansar Al-Islam, are holed up in small Iranian towns along the border with Iraq. The group seems to be recruiting new members in Baramawa, a Kurdish refugee camp inside Iran, reports Special Correspondent Babak Dehghanpisheh in the October 13 issue of Newsweek (on newsstands Monday, October 6). (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20031005/NYSU003 ) For 18 months Ansar had waged a fratricidal jihad against its secular Kurdish neighbors instead of helping them fight Saddam Hussein. After the U.S. assault on its enclave last March, the group seemed to vanish, and though Tehran insists that none of Ansar's 900 or so fighters were allowed into Iran, many of the group's survivors tell Newsweek they did indeed flee there and are now sneaking back across the border to continue their battle against the West.

Time for a little cross border incursion I would think.

OK IRAN,

EXPELL THEM ALL INTO OUR HANDS WITHIN 24 HOURS

Or, your nuke plants AND your border towns will be glass.

... roughly 300 militants of al Qaeda-linked Kurdish group, Ansar Al-Islam, are holed up in small Iranian towns along the border with Iraq.

Too Bad the end result can't go something like this ...

• EAGLE Six this is RED DOG Eyes - Over
• RED DOG Eyes this is EAGLE Six -Over
• EAGLE Six this is RED DOG Eyes - Mission - troops in buldings Battalion Strength LAT ######### LONG ######### - Feul Air Explosive - Over
• RED DOG Eyes this is EAGLE Six - Drop Drop Drop - Over
• EAGLE Six this is RED DOG Eyes - Target destroyed - Out

  I'm afraid my RTO procedures for a mission call are rusty but that should be close.

I agree. Wait for them to cross and let them meet MR MOAB !!!!!
