French arrests 'linked to Zarqawi'

French counterterrorism agents on Thursday arrested three suspects believed to have "indirect links" to al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a police spokeswoman said.

Fairbanks News-Miner reporter Margaret Friedenauer is embedded with 172nd Stryker Brigade in Iraq.

This is definitely worth a read.

Second that. Nothing like seeing a member of the 4th Estate get b****-slapped by reality, and having the integrity to admit it in print.

LET FREEDOM REIGN!!!

Thank you SV!

Men who said they were former al-Qaida members said on Saudi television the network planned to set up a 12,000-strong Islamic army to oust "infidel" regimes.

"Infidel" regimes, That would be.....pretty much everyone, now that the Tailiban is gone.

It’s only a matter of time before Arabs start insisting that al Zarqawi is really an Israeli agent, working from the inside to destroy al Qaeda.


I'm suprised they haven't done this yet.

Here is a link to the video clip of an Iraqi woman after voting telling people who do not appreciate what Bush has done for them to "go to H*LL"

described a web of links between the alleged network in France -- which police say included both Islamic militants and common criminals

Once again I'm shock!

Great collection of articles, as usual. Thanks.

Eucom officials say there is evidence that 25 per cent of suicide bombers in Iraq are Saharan Africans. Terrorist attacks such as the 11 March, 2004, Madrid train bombings that killed 191 persons have been linked to north African militants.

I remember reading an article probably a year or more ago about the growing Al Qaeda presence in the Sahara. I see it's still on the radar screen.

Concerning whether or not to get Zarqawi, I say it's definitely better to get him. Not only will it be a great boost for morale for our troops and the Iraqi population as a whole, but it will presumably save many innocent lives.

But then I realize it’s not a conflict of interest. If I am truly unbiased, then I need to get used to this one simple fact; that the untold story, might in fact, be a positive one.

It's amazing how few journalists are able to grasp what should be such a simple, yet keystone principle guiding their careers.

Ping to quote in Post #17.

If I am truly unbiased...

Therein lies the dilemma.

Ding ding ding!
