US Forces captured a 'known Al Qaeda terrorist' along with five other men, including Saudi and Pakistani nationals, according to a statement released by the Coalition today. The identities of those seized in the Khost City raid have been withheld pending the sensitive nature of the operation
The raid took place at a compound in Khost City. The statement indicated no shots were fired and no one was injured during the operation. Several women and children were present in the compound and a cache of military supplies was uncovered.
The stash included armor piercing ammunition, grenades, AK-47 assault rifles and camera equipment that contained surveillance footage of nearby military installations.
Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters are known to operate and live throughout Khost province which borders Pakistan. Fighters from neighboring Pakistan are also known to easily pass through the border area into Afghanistan on a daily basis due to the rugged terrain and well established smuggling routes.
Counter-terrorism operations launched by US forces targeting al Qaeda compounds in Nangahar and Khost provinces has been stepped up since August, netting and killing dozens of suspected al Qaeda militants.

I saw a trailer for that movie back in 1981 or 82...to this day, the mere image of that guy's melon blowing like that unsettles me.

OTOH, the Dems would scream that this was all a set-up to secure a GOP majority in Congress. Wouldn't it be ironic if we captured OBL today or tomorrow - we'd almost have to hold the news until after the election to avoid the clamor

Almost . . . but hopefully we'd shout it from the rooftops and make sure every voter knows that we got 'im.

I don't know anything about this source. I hope it's true, but I'd like some verification.

Nah, I can't believe it would be somebody big. It would be released almost immediately.
