The news that counts

From US Central Command.

BAGHDAD – Iraqi Security Forces, with U.S. Special Forces as advisors, detained 13 suspected terrorists belonging to Al Qa’ida during two operations July 23 near Baghdad.

In the first operation, Iraqi Security Forces detained eight individuals linked to an Al Qai’da cell involved in sniper operations and death squad activities near Hayy Aamel. The targeted individuals were detained without incident or resistance. Iraqi Security Forces seized four AK-47 rifles and ammunition, cellular telephones, U.S. newspapers and other documents during this operation.

Why have they got US newspapers? Because they want to know what is happening on the front line.
