Iraqi security forces, backed by Sunni tribesmen, clashed Sunday with a united of al-Qaida fighters near the Syrian border, killing at least 21 members of the terrorist organization, police said.
The fighting, near the border town of Qaim in Anbar province began after midnight and lasted several hours, said Col. Tariq Youssef, a police official in the city, 320 kilometers (200 miles) west of Baghdad.
The colonel said "a small number of the tribal fighters suffered minor wounds" and all 21 al-Qaida members in the unit were killed.
"The operation was launched by police forces backed by the Abu Faraj and Abu Shaaban tribes against members of al-Qaida," he said. "We believe that they were trying to flee the country because they are surrounded now in Anbar by the growing number of tribes that reject al-Qaida."
An increasing number of Sunni tribes in Anbar province, a stronghold of the insurgency, have joined with the government and U.S. military to expel al-Qaida from the region.

The 'spin' is 'in'. They're playing up the tour as Nancy serving as an ambassador of peace, carrying word from Israel to Syria that everything will be hunkey dorey if they'll just stop supporting the Pallies. It doesn't advance the situation at all, Israel's been calling for that for years and Syria's been ignoring it for years, so it's just sort of a 'Pelosi jerk'. But it gives her some way to try to explain her decision to stab our country in the back by working to pass a bill supporting our enemies, then jetting off to 'hang' with them during the Easter holidays.
They aren't making a big deal out of it, because she is going to represent Israeli interests, against the wishes of the United States Government, and they cannot figure out a way to spin Gramaw's trip to make Bush look bad.
The leftist brown shirts are excoriating her for "caving in" to AIPAC.
RAMADI, Iraq, 18 September 2006 — Sheikh Sattar Al-Buzayi summoned other tribal chiefs last week for a war council at his fortified home in Ramadi, the teeming, scarred capital of Iraq’s Anbar province, desert heartland of the Sunni Arabs. There was a bountiful feast of beef and rice, and a vow of unrelenting battle against the common enemy — Al-Qaeda.
“We have to form police and army forces from among our sons to fight these Al-Qaeda militants,” Buzayi, who says the militants murdered his father and his brother, told Reuters. “We have now entered a real battle. It’s either us or them.” Those words carry a powerful promise for US commanders, who acknowledged last week they cannot defeat Al-Qaeda in its Iraqi bases on their own. They need Iraqi tribes — Sunni Arabs like the Al-Qaeda militants themselves — to take up the fight.
