CAR BOMB ATTACK THWARTED
Security forces have arrested two men outside a mosque in the Iraqi city of Kufah after finding two cars laden with bombs.
The arrests came amid warnings from clerics that Saddam Hussein loyalists or al-Qaeda members will strike over the next two days.
The men were arrested outside the Masjed al-Kufah mosque, 180 kilometres south of Baghdad.
"We found the seats (in one car stopped on Sunday) were not well designed and had new covers. This raised our suspicion and we searched the seats and found them filled with bombs," a policemen said.
"Yesterday we seized the same kind of car filled with bombs," he said, adding that that car was driven by two men from Yemen.
The two men detained on Monday were from the southern Iraqi city of Basra, he said.

Yes, Sam, it's true. Being on the defensive, we have to be successful every day. They only have to succeed occasionally to win.

Hate when these tips are given. Now they'll use old covers.
Thanks for this post, Dog. Amazing, but not surprising, we don't hear this on TV.

Good post. Thanks, Dog.
Clerics tipping us off on the Hussein loyalists. Reporter doesn't state whether the 'security forces' or the 'policeman' were Iraqi or Coalition troops. Working together against a mutual enemy, ping!

I'd bet the farm that these guys are al-Qaeda. The CIA probably has these guys' nuts on ice (for starters) figuring out just what they know.
To: Ken522
Rather than arresting the perps, can't soldiers just shoot them on the spot?And miss the fact that the are not disgruntled Iraqies but probably AQ from Yemmen.

Clerics tipping us off on the Hussein loyalists. There was an article on FR about the Al Najaf (sp?) mosque bombing - the preacher (or mullah or whatever his title was) that the bombers targeted - and killed - was preaching peace, and they didn't like that. If anyone knows more about this, maybe add or link it?

["Yesterday we seized the same kind of car filled with bombs," he said, adding that that car was driven by two men from Yemen.]
Is that anything like "Two Guys From Harrison"?
Anyway, good catch for the good guys. Time to break out the pliars.

"We have to get every piece of information out of them before their death sentence." If we must expand the internationalization of the effort in Iraq, I strongly suggest the ROK contribute some of their interrogators. They are consummate, "extractors of information."
To: Dog
Even better, it looks like the good cops who did this were Iraquis.
To: Tokhtamish
After the An Najaf bombing, Iraqis are associating foreign Arabs with al Qaeda jehadis.This seems like the Najaf bombing's silver lining. It helps align the concerns of the Iraqis with our own. It gives us a common enemy.
