Of course, the US forces are being very careful about this!
Useful idiot-Marxist 'independent' reporter for Pacifica Radio, May Ying Welsh, (in Iraq on a US passport) reported from Baghdad this a.m. on the radio that she met about 20 Yemenis in her hotel who said they were going as suicide fighters south. They said they brought nearly 100 female Arab "martyrs" as well who were going to go blow themselves up, and they were heading out of Baghdad SOUTH towards Basra to engage the American enemy.
One wonders if this is disinformation (or overstatement, common in the Arab world) coming from behind enemy lines this morning via Ms. Welch (who should be held for sedition when she returns by the way) but nevertheless it will be good to be careful with civilians, even women, who can hide all kinds of explosives under an abaya or burqa.
