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.

Wonder if it any of the "Deck of Cards" bad guys are involved.
Not many of them left to catch.
The good guys are doing a great job.

That was pretty graphic for the state of the technology back then. I was in my early teens when I saw it--rather disturbing to me then. But then again I saw Jaws II when I was even younger and had nightmares for months after. Actually I was about 9 or 10 when I made the mistake of seeing a couple of films .... RABIES and PIRANHA.
Rabies just gave me nightmares; Piranha kept me out of lakes for a good long while.

I used to dream about California earthquakes that would open up the ground and fill with shark infested water. And I was always nervous swimming--even in a pool.

Oh, my. Some day we're going to get this lucky; if it's by election day, there will be mass suicides across the leftists in the nation.
