WASHINGTON, Dec. 26, 2006 Coalition and Iraqi forces killed three insurgents and detained 10 in Iraq over the past three days:
-- Coalition forces used precision munitions today to destroy a vehicle insurgents were using to emplace improvised explosive devices in Haqlaniyah. |
Alright, good news. Let's keep track of the enemy's loses for a change.Unfortunatly deaths are the way we keep track of who is winning in war. How can the media claim unbiased reporting by only reporting our loses?
10 killed and 3 detained would be 7 better.
"10 killed and 3 detained would be 7 better."
You stole my line. /sarcasm
Seriously, I was thinking the same thing. GMTA.
We have a name- Sahib al-Ameri
"Tension was boiling up further south in the holy city of Najaf after an American soldier killed a senior ally of Sadr during a raid on his house.
Sadr supporters and local police told AFP that US and Iraqi soldiers had stormed the family home of Sahib al-Ameri, the president of a pro-Sadr political foundation in the holy city of Najaf, and shot him dead.
The US military confirmed one of its troops had shot Ameri in an overnight raid by Iraqi forces, backed up by coalition military advisers.
A statement said Ameri was implicated in recent bomb attacks on US and Iraqi forces, and was shot by an adviser after he fled to the roof of his house and aimed an assault rifle at an Iraqi soldier."
