Allawi Announces Arrest of Militant Group
Yahoo / AP ^

Posted on 11/15/2004 9:13:38 AM PST by LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The leader of a militant group involved in beheading hostages and other attacks has been arrested and the group was broken up, Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi said Monday.

Allawi identified the group as Jaish Muhammad, Arabic for Muhammad's Army. The group "has been arrested ... We arrested their leader," Allawi said, identifying him as Moayad Ahmed Yasseen, also known as Abu Ahmed.

Muhammad's Army was known to have cooperated with Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and al-Qaida and Saddam loyalists and was responsible for killing and beheading a number of Iraqis, Arabs and foreigners in Iraq (news - web sites), Allawi said.

"They were planning to destroy Fallujah...by blowing up important positions," he said. "They have extensions abroad that I cannot talk about now." Allawi did not say how many members of the group were captured or what kidnappings the group has been involved in.

The militant group was arrested during U.S.-led military operations in Fallujah, the television station said.

Allawi also said officials had arrested members of another group, whom he did not name. He said they have been detained and will be interrogated.

The U.S. military has said in the past that Jaish Mohammed appears to be an umbrella group for former intelligence agents, army, security officials, and Baath Party members.

"I've heard of this guy....."

Where? Do you remember?

BTW, I wonder whether the official talk of "Zarqawi got away" might be disinformation.

Was this one of the two key targets that "escaped" from Fallujah?

So, Zarqawi out sources his work.

I'm sure that the intel collected so far will be a big help.

Again, we are hearing of Islamofascists being killed and leaving their computers around or just leaving them. We don't have to worry about having time and experts to translate for us. Allawi has hand picked loyalists to do that for us. The end results will be quick and are probably happening now.

Maybe, or what if they let him get away to watch where he went and contacted?

My, the webmasters of International A.N.S.W.E.R. and MOVEON.ORG must be choking on their own surprised vomit right about now.

Ping. The Fallujah offensive is much more successful than the media will tell us. What great news!

". . . let him get away to watch . . ."

I suppose it could be possible, but I personally think it very unlikely. If we had a lock on him that good, I can't imagine us not taking out this slippery terrorist scum.

I question the timing of this (shouldn't this have happened before the election?)

Fallujah will result in a snowballing of good Intel to both the US and Iraqi governments, I would wager...

It would be a safe bet that these Islamofascists/kazis are wishing that the Americans were in charge of them and putting Victoria Secret panties on their heads.

Yes. No doubt the Iraqi's have a more "persuasive" approach to getting the intel out of them.

I doubt if the techniques our Iraqi allies have used on these scumbags would fall under Moi Kerri's more sensitive war against terrorism.

I imagine those idiots on the far far left are even more agile than the MSM at turning on a dime, to unerringly finding an anti-Bush view of unfolding events. That view may sometimes be implausible, but with plenty of sugar for the Koolaid drinkers.

Use of the Haines is the first line to get these Islamodumbos to talk.

Hanging up in plain view are some very revealing Victoria Secret panties.

These Islamodumbos are told that if the Haines doesn't make them talk. We will put the Victoria Secret panties on their heads.

Then, we will take pictures and post them on the Arabic internets.
