Coalition forces responded, killing the three insurgents and detaining 13 suspects with alleged ties to the cell.

Four suspected insurgents were captured today in Arab Jabour, south of Baghdad, with suspected ties to vehicle-bomb manufacturing.

In Karmah today, four suspects with reported ties to al Qaeda in Iraq foreign fighter facilitation were detained. Additionally, a terrorist with ties to al Qaeda was captured in Baqubah this morning.

During operations in Baqubah yesterday, 5th Iraqi army forces, with coalition advisors, killed a reported leader of an illegal militia responsible for violence and criminal activity in Diyala province.

FR WAR NEWS!

WAR News at Home and Abroad You'll Hear Nowhere Else!

All the News the MSM refuses to use!

[Psalm 73]

"Four Insurgents Killed, 26 Detained in Iraq"

It should just read:
"30 Insurgents Killed in Iraq"

First of all, it is not "insurgents" but "excremists". Secondly, 26 killed and 4 detained would be 22 killed better.

did you mean excrements? it works for me

[GSlob]

A hybrid word. Some FReepers call these "typso'es". The spelling, while sufficiently close to the standard, is designed to throw a sharper light on the described subject. Thus "excremists".

lol

It should just read:
"30 Insurgents Killed in Iraq"

I think information should be "extracted" from the other 26 first.

"I think information should be "extracted" from the other 26 first."

Surely you don't mean "water-boarding" - maybe just put them in a van and drive them off the Chappaquidick bridge.......
