Iraqi Forces Kill Al Qaeda Leader
From FoxNews.com: Iraqi Forces Kill Al Qaeda Leader:
“U.S. forces, acting on Iraqi intelligence, raided a house where Hamid al-Takhi, the local Al Qaeda in Iraq leader, and the two other insurgents were hiding just outside Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad, the U.S. military said.Al-Takhi, known as the ‘emir’ of Samarra, was gunned down while fleeing the house, and the other two militants were killed while trying to defend it with grenades, the U.S. military said. After they were killed, the U.S. troops found a car parked nearby containing a grenade launcher, rockets, AK-47s, grenades and a shotgun, the U.S. military said.
Iraqi police said al-Takhi had been responsible for many insurgent attacks against coalition forces and civilians in the area.”
Hmmm, Al Qaeda is willing to die for their cause and our military is willing to accomodate them. As a wiser man than I said, “Let’s git ‘er done.”
