FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


HIGH-VALUE TARGETS CAPTURED IN AL ANBAR PROVINCE

AR RUTBAH, Iraq – Elements of 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment captured Abu Mohammed on Jan. 01. Abu Mohammed was a Coalition Joint Task Force 7 high value target and a key facilitator operating in the Al Anbar Province. He is believed to be responsible for moving foreign fighters and large sums of cash throughout the area of operations.

Third ACR elements found Abu Mohammed in a cab approximately 200 meters from the international border. Mohammed and the driver were taken into custody.

In response to information surrounding the capture of Abu Mohammed, elements of 3rd ACR conducted an immediate cordon and search of a suspected foreign fighter transit point in Ar Rutbah this afternoon. The operation was conducted successfully and resulted in the capture of three additional personnel, small arms weapons, and a large amount of documents potentially linked to Abu Mohammed’s actions.

The successful war on terra continues into the New Year, and I am grateful there is one in the White House who knows the score and will allow our troops to pursue our enemies to their unrightous end.

And we need to ensure he stay in the White House for another four years. This is a lengthy fight against terrorism, and we can't afford to lose.

I wonder if Abu the money is an Iraqi or a foreign fighter himself.

A conventional Abrams/Bradley Armored Cavalry Regiment is an awesome war machine.

I think he stay, but not sure, didn't vote for him last time, but will this time around. Hard to vote against real live evidence. Only democrats capable of ignoring the truth.
