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.
"Adam Gaddan(sp)???"
That's a good guess.
Adam is not of Saudi origin. Unless you count California.
Same with Zawahiri...even if this was back from the "Pakistan drone strike" of a week ago.
For the good of the nation, that news would be withheld until after the election so that the news wouldn't be bad-mouthed by the TV talking heads as some stunt pre-planned to influence the elections.
By releasing it after the elections, our whole nation gets to cheer a great war-on-terror victory rather than have half the country think it's a grand conspiracy.
All together:
HOW TALL IS HE?
There was one I saw while in college...some weird critters were turning folks into zombies...their method for doing that was to go in through people's mouths. At the end, only one zombie was left...a dog.
The hero and his girly have finished vanquishing the zombies, when the girly bends down to pet the dog...and the critter that turned folks into zombies jumps into her mouth.
Since then, I refuse to let any dog lick my face.
Scanners?
Funny how he looks like you could bitch slap him silly...but I guess HE's the one that can REALLY do the bitch-slapping, huh?
I dare not even hope. This would be too darned good to be true.
Same here, as I believe "him" is already pushing up 3rd generation daisies.
That one works.
Thanks.
OTOH, the Dems would will scream that this was all a set-up to secure a GOP majority in Congress.
They will accuse this report as a Rove scheme to "raise hopes" and sway the election!!! Pathetic panzies.

I hate the teasers *L*
