Thanks, Coop! CENTCOM, CJTF7 are days late = busy troops!

TIKRIT, Iraq (AP) — U.S. forces on Friday captured six people "closely tied" to Saddam Hussein and his regime for suspected anti-coalition activities including attacks on helicopters, a U.S. commander said.

"The individuals are closely tied to the Saddam family and the former regime. They represent some of the last of the main network that we have been targeting for many months," Russell said without providing details.

Also, good chance Al-Sistani was lying about suicide attempt, gaining international sympathy and inciting his pals -  with the help of Reuters and their news outlets (reporting unverified facts
from untrustworthy sources).
