"African Jihadis Head to Iraq"
Wednesday, June 15, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "DAKAR, Senegal — Up to 20 percent of suicide car bombers in Iraq are from Algeria (search), a sign of growing cooperation between Islamic extremists in northern Africa and like-minded Iraqis, a senior U.S. military official said Tuesday.

The American officer said terror cells in the Middle East and northern Africa were increasingly joining forces as they face crackdowns in their own countries, leading to a stepped-up flow of money and Islamic extremists to Iraq.

Forensic investigations have revealed that 20 percent of suicide car bombers in Iraq are Algerian and roughly 5 percent come from Morocco (search) and Tunisia (search), according to the officer with responsibilities in Europe and Africa. The officer spoke on condition of anonymity, preferring for reasons of protocol to let U.S. commanders in Iraq speak on the record.

The majority of foreign bombers in Iraq are believed to come from countries in the Persian Gulf, mainly Saudi Arabia and Yemen, U.S. officials say."

Not a good day today and from what I'm seeing, it doesn't look like it will get better any time soon, in fact it may get much much worse.

It makes me very sad, I wish there was something I could do!

Ramadi attack on US soldiers

very difficult. I'm sure there will be more later, if you get the chance check out the blog in about 4 hours, there should be more there.
