BUILDING HOUSING SUSPECTED TERRORISTS HIT IN AIR STRIKE NEAR ARAB JABOUR
Release Date: 2/8/2007
Release Number: 07-01-03P
Description: BAGHDAD, Iraq - Coalition Forces conducted an air strike Wednesday targeting an al-Qaida in Iraq-related vehicle-borne improvised explosives devices network near Arab Jabour.
Intelligence reports indicated that this network is responsible for a large and devastating number of VBIED attacks in the Baghdad area. They are also responsible for IED and sniper attacks conducted against the Iraqi people and Iraqi and Coalition Forces.
As Coalition Forces approached the targeted building they came under intense enemy fire. Ground forces assessed seven suspected terrorists were in the targeted building. Coalition Forces determined the targets too hostile for ground troops and called for air support. Two precision guided munitions were dropped destroying the targeted building and an associated structure.
Coalition Forces continue to tear apart the al-Qaida leadership inside Iraq. This operation significantly reduces this VBIED terrorist network's ability to operate, and increases the safety of all Iraqi citizens, Iraqi forces, and Iraq's Multi-National partners.

1991 to 1996 : (SUDAN : TRAINING CAMPS ARE OPEN FOR AL QAEDA) From 1991 to 1996, the years when Bin Laden used to live in Sudan, training camps were open for Al-Qaida. The largest camp was near Soba, 10km south of Khartoum along the Blue Nile. It was a highly restricted area of about 20 square acres. Iranians based in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley were among the trainers, while the trainees came from Algeria, Tunisia, Bosnia, Chechnya, the Philippines, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Eritrea. Ethiopia, Uganda and Somalia. All these terrorists were trained to use explosives and many of them left to Bosnia, Chechnya, Somalia and to the west bank.
