CACHES FOUND IN OPERATION TIGERS

AR RAMADI, Iraq – Early morning efforts of Operation Numur (Tigers) by Soldiers of the Iraqi Army and Task Force 2-69, U.S. Army, have netted several caches, including two that were found along a railroad track used by local citizens.

The caches found consisted of numerous artillery and mortar rounds, rocket-propelled grenades, high explosives, small arms weapons, small arms ammunition, bulletproof vests and bomb making equipment.

The Iraqi Army spearheaded the operation by providing security, identifying cache sites and gathering important information through their interaction with the local citizens.

“These actions prove the Iraqi Army is truly making very rapid advances. With time, we will be able to secure all of Ramadi and remove all of the hidden enemy weapons cache points,” said Lt. Col. Abdul Majeed, commander of the 3-2-1 Iraqi Army.

Additionally, several suspected insurgents, to include Imad Salih Al-Fahdawi, a known insurgent linked to the Abu Khattab-al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) terrorist cell, were detained during the operation. Imad Salih was involved in attacks against government officials and imams.

Insurgents linked to the al Qaeda in Iraq cell which is a part of the Abu Musab Zarqawi network in Ramadi have vowed to prevent the local citizens from participating in the up-coming Dec. 15 elections.

Operation Tigers is the fourth in a series of offensive operations which have been executed by the Iraqi Army and Coalition Forces of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team (from the 28th Infantry Division) assigned to 2nd Marine Division.

Operation Tigers consists of approximately 150 Iraqi Army Soldiers and 400 Coalition Forces.

FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT THE 2D MARINE DIVISION PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICER AT POOLJS@GCEMNF-WIRAQ.USMC.MIL.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


MASSIVE WEAPONS CACHE DISCOVERED NEAR KIRKUK

TIKRIT, Iraq – U.S. Soldiers discovered more than 2,700 mortar rounds near an abandoned Iraqi Army base south of Kirkuk Sunday morning.

Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division’s 2nd Battalion, 1st Brigade Combat Team, and explosive ordnance disposal experts began the task of unearthing the weapons from a mound located in a field full of similar mounds. Iraqi and U.S. forces are securing the site and preparing to excavate the remaining mounds in search of additional weapons.

This cache alone has yielded as much explosive material as gathered in the brigade’s area over the past two months, according to the EOD team at the site.

Weapons and explosives seized by Iraqi and U.S. forces are normally moved to a secure location and disposed of through controlled detonations in order to keep them from being used against local citizens and coalition forces.

Iran: Zoroastrian Lawmaker Faces Slander Charges
ADN Kronos International ^ | 28 November 2005


Posted on 11/28/2005 10:52:20 PM PST by F14 Pilot


Iranian parlamentarian Kurosh Niknam, a member of Iran's Zoroastrian religious minority has been summoned to appear before the country's Revolutionary Tribunal after being accused of spreading false news and showing lack of respect for the authorities. The charges stem from comments Niknam made to protest against derogatory remarks against non-Muslims uttered by a close aide to Iran's Supreme Leader, Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

Non-Muslims "cannot be called human beings but are animals who roam the earth and engage in corruption." said Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati last week at a ceremony in north-eastern Iran to commemorate the 'martyrs' of the Revolutionary Guards and the war against Iraq (1980-88).

Nikam described the remarks as "an unprecedented slur against religious minorities."

"Non-Muslims not only are not beasts, but if Iran has a glorious past and civilisation to be proud of it owes this to those who lived in the country before the advent of Islam," he said, adding sarcastically that he wished to ask forgiveness to the "beasts" because "they do not commit sins, while those who sully the earth are those humans who don't show respect for the other creatures of God."

The Zoroastrian community in Iran is estimated to number some 22,000 - half the size of that in existence before the 1979 Islamic revolution. The faith was founded in about 600 BC by the Persian prophet Zarathustra, who believed he had seen visions of a God he called Ahura Mazda. Zoroastrian rule was driven out of modern-day Iran by the Muslim Arab invasion 1,400 years ago.

Lebanon: Witness In Hariri Case Killed in Car Crash
ADN Kronos International ^ | 28 November 2005


Posted on 11/28/2005 10:44:09 PM PST by Lorianne


Beirut, 28 Nov. (AKI) - A key witness in the UN commissioned probe into the death of former Lebanese premier Rafik Hariri has died in a car crash. Nawwar Habib Dunna, was killed on Saturday night after the vehicle he was travelling in plunged down a ditch on a road some 30 kilometres east of the capital Beirut. Dunna owned a telephone supplies store where several of the cell phones believed to have been used by those who plotted Hariri's February assassination were bought.

Investigators from the commission of inquiry headed by German judge Detlev Mehlis questioned Dunna a few weeks ago in connection with the case.

Police said they found in a pocket of the jacket Dunna was wearing when he died a letter dated 21 August, summoning him to appear before the commission.

Another man travelling in the car, Walid Hasan Samaan, described as a friend and colleague of Dunna's who was injured in the crash has been taken to hospital in the nearby town of Bhannes where his condition has been described as serious.

"FReep 32 of Code Pink at Walter Reed, Nov 25 (Heavy graphics, Join us Dec 2!)"
DC Chapter ^ | Nov. 29, 2005 | BillF with photos from upchuck and PleaDeal

Posted on 11/29/2005 1:05:32 AM PST by BillF

POST SNIPPET: "On Nov 25, the day after Thanksgiving, we had a good turnout of FReepers from the DC Chapter and beyond. It was a cold night, but there was little or no wind. This was FReep #32 as FReepers have countered Code Pinkos at their weekly obscene anti-war blood dance outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center as their have for 8 months now. We overheard a soldier telling off the Pinkos and we had a brief encounter with a Pinko who let on what they really think of our troops.


Code Pink is truly stuck in a quagmire as FReepers severely hinder the Pinkos' cynical attempts to manipulate severely wounded soldiers and relatives in hopes of finding those who will join the anti-war movement and break faith with the troops still fighting a ruthless enemy. Please help us by showing up next Friday night per details below. Stand up against the Pinkos who've endorsed "the Iraqi resistance" (as they call our enemy, see here and here), given money to the other side in Fallujah, and called our troops "killers." Then, the Pinkos demonstrate at the hospital and pretend that they support our troops."

"Miami plans 'in-your-face' anti-terror effort"
November 29, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "MIAMI (AP) -- Miami police announced plans yesterday to thwart terrorists by staging random, "in-your-face" security operations at so-called "soft" targets, such as city buses and sports arenas.

The idea behind the "Miami Shield" program is to make such targets less attractive to terrorists and improve vigilance among citizens. Deputy Police Chief Frank Fernandez said al Qaeda and other terror groups carefully plot their attacks based in part on surveillance that identifies flaws and patterns in security.

Random, high-profile security operations will keep terrorists guessing about where police might be next, he said."
