Two More Bite the Dust.

In two operations conducted on Sunday, August 26, Iraqi Forces along with U.S. Special Forces advisors detained a network terror leader in Tikrit, and an al-Qaeda Emir . The cell leader is reportedly finaced by Saddam Hussein's daughter, Raghid and is linked to a series of attacks on Coalition Forces, while the Emir has been involved in organizing suicide bombers to attack in al Doura:

BAGHDAD – Iraqi Army Forces, advised by U.S. Special Forces, detained the leader of a network of terrorist cells linked to the former regime of Saddam Hussein during an operation Aug. 26 in Tikrit.

The suspected leader’s network is reportedly financed by funds acquired through Raghid Hussein, daughter of Saddam Hussein and is linked to a series of attacks on Coalition Forces. They typically use rocket-propelled grenade and improvised explosive devices. These attacks have claimed the lives of numerous Soldiers and
Airmen.

Iraqi and U.S. Special Forces have previously detained several leaders of this network who are responsible for attacks on Coalition Forces.

In a second operation, Iraqi Special Operations Forces detained a suspected al-Qaeda administrative Emir and planner for attacks using vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices during an intelligence-driven operation Aug. 26 in Baghdad.

Intelligence reports suggest the Sunni extremist has been involved in organizing suicide bombers to attack in al Doura. Reports also indicate his recent activities include directing the administrative aspects of training and employing terrorists to attack Iraqi and Coalition Forces.

No Iraqi or U.S. Forces were injured in these operations.

Two more down and their ranks get thinner. Soon there will be no one left to plan and carry out the attacks that these men have been conducting and as long as Iraqis are willing to come forward and provide intel upon the insrgent groups in Iraq their ranks will continue to dwindle.
