Coalition Forces in Iraq Capture ‘Special Groups,’ al-Qaida Leaders

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, June 11, 2008 – Coalition forces in Iraq today captured a man believed to be the leader of an Iranian-backed enemy “special group” and another who’s an alleged al-Qaida chieftain during separate operations conducted near Kut and in Mosul, respectively, military officials said.

Coalition forces captured the suspected Iranian-trained explosives expert in Numaniyah, southeast of Baghdad near Kut. Intelligence sources told coalition officials the suspect has numerous Iranian contacts with whom he would meet when smuggling weapons and bomb-making materials into Iraq. Coalition forces entered the suspect’s residence and subdued him without firing any shots after the man made a move toward a weapon.

Also today, coalition forces captured the alleged leader of an illegal terrorist court system during an operation in Mosul. The alleged al-Qaida in Iraq “emir,” or leader, reportedly ran a court designed to impose extremist ideology on Iraqi citizens. Intelligence also indicates the detainee is linked to senior al-Qaida operatives in Mosul.

In yesterday’s operations:

— Coalition forces detained a man in Beiji while targeting members of an al-Qaida in Iraq bombing network in Salahuddin province.

— Coalition operations in northwest Iraq netted five suspected terrorists.

— Two suspects were detained by coalition forces during an operation near Samarra.

Also yesterday, Iraqi police, U.S. soldiers and local Iraqis teamed up to seize a number of weapons during operations in and around Baghdad:

— U.S. soldiers seized an armor-piercing roadside bomb, a conventional improvised explosive device, six rocket-propelled grenades, 10 charges and an artillery round while patrolling the Shulla area of Baghdad’s Kadhamiyah neighborhood.

— In the Jihad area of Baghdad’s Rashid neighborhood, U.S. soldiers acted on a resident’s tip to find 20 60 mm mortars, 50 grenades, 50 grenade fuses, three nonelectric blasting caps and 1,200 7.62 mm rounds.

— Iraqi soldiers seized three weapons caches in Baghdad’s Sadr City section. The caches contained, in total: 12 IEDs, five 120 mm mortar rounds, 11 60 mm mortar rounds, 14 rocket-propelled grenades, three hand grenades, a smoke grenade, three rockets, an RPG launcher, two rocket bases, an AK-47 assault rifle, 12 loaded AK-47 magazines and eight empty AK-47 magazines, 200 AK-47 rounds and two loaded light-machine-gun magazines.

Also yesterday, Iraqi security forces and U.S. soldiers teamed up to seize a number of weapons caches during operations conducted in and around Baghdad:

— Iraq police and U.S. soldiers found two IEDs in the city’s New Baghdad district. One consisted of a 130 mm artillery round, and the other device was made from a 107 mm artillery round. The joint force also seized 62 AK-47s, six sniper rifles, four 9 mm pistols, 12 full AK-47 magazines, four full 9 mm magazines and a machete.

— Iraqi soldiers seized five AK-47s in the Sadr City district of Baghdad, while U.S. soldiers discovered a weapons cache containing mortars and rockets, explosives, RPGs, detonation cord and blasting caps.

— An Iraqi citizen turned in two 120 mm mortar rounds, two grenades and a tube to U.S. soldiers.

— U.S. soldiers found a weapons cache northwest of Baghdad containing small-arms ammunition and magazines, a camouflage net and other items.

— Iraqi soldiers in Sadr City seized a weapons cache containing several rifles and a machine gun.

In June 9 operations:

— Iraqi soldiers seized weapons and vehicles during operations throughout Baghdad. In the Kadamiya district, the Iraqi soldiers found a cache containing one light anti-armor weapon rocket, communication devices, two sets of body armor, four machine-gun barrels, communication wire, an RPG warhead, small-arms ammunition, five boxes of 5.56 mm rounds and various grenades. The Iraqi troops also confiscated three vehicles and one moped. Extra fuel tanks had been welded into the beds of two of the trucks.

— Iraqi commandos detained six suspected al-Qaida terrorists in the Tall Abtah area, northwest of Mosul. The detained men are linked to a terrorist cell that harbors insurgents and constructs IEDs.

I wasn’t sure where I should “report” this, as I have no links or further info. a this time...

My husband just returned home from a trip to our local Wal-Mart (Rib Mountain/Wausau WI). According to what he told me everyone in the store was ordered to drop everything and leave due to a bomb threat somewhere between 3:00pm and 3:30pm.

He said it took him 20 minutes to get out of the store due to the amount of people inside trying to get out of the two entrances. I have yet to find any information at any of our local news stations. I don’t have any further information at this time, and I have no idea if information will be forthcoming... My husband was late for work, and that was pretty much what was on his mind at this point. He said there wasn’t much panic, just a lot of confusion...

If any of you are the praying kind please pray that they find whatever jerk, or punk kid(?) decided to make this threat. We have a wonderful community here, and to tell you the truth I’m in complete shock at this point...

I will update here on the thread if I find out any further information.

“Venezuelans recruited by the Interior Ministry trained by Hezbollah”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Via Noticias 24, journalist Patricia Poleo reports that Venezuelans of Arab ancestry are being recruited under the auspices of Tarek el Ayssami, Venezuela’s vice-Minister of the Interior, for combat training in Hezbollah camps in South Lebanon.

I have not been able to cross-reference the information in her article, however, the information is specific and detailed enough that it merits review.

Bearing that in mind, here is my translation of Poleo’s article. If you use the translation, PLEASE CREDIT ME.
Hugo Chavez pretends to cut back on his support of the FARC, when his “dangerous” associations go well beyond the Colombian guerrilla.

Presently young Venezuelans are being recruited for training in Lebanon.”
