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.

Reporter doesn't state whether the 'security forces' or the 'policeman' were Iraqi or Coalition troops.
My guess (and hope) is they're Iraqis, trained by the Coalition forces. They'll have their own "ways" of getting info out of these scums. *evil grin*
But the really important issue is that these attacks have been thwarted and who knows how many lives have been saved. Great news all 'round!
It's fantastic seeing more and more news about Coalition troops and Iraqis working together and getting results such as this. It's working.
A good bet. Captured Al-Qeada members have been found to be from there and it borders the most rabid, wahhabist, anti-western , terror supporting country in the region, Saudi Arabia.
Perps are shown films of the corpse of William "Action" Jackson after his 1961 three-day torture-execution by Mafia boss DeStefano as an example of the treatment of the recalcitrant.
If that fails to unlock their tongues, they have headphones strapped on and are subjected to a tape-loop of Helen Thomas questions for Ari Fleischer.
It's probably wrong to have so much fun thinking up ways to annoy the terrorists: (^;

While I agree in principle, I think these guys will be feeling no pain whatsoever, and will in fact, be experiencing better living through chemistry, and they will also be telling our friendly “chemists” everything they want to know.
