Sorry, Abu: Your Travel Agent Has Been Cancelled
Jihad Tours is going to have to fnd a new way to travel. Via CENTCOM:
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces killed Abu Khallad, a major facilitator of foreign fighters and suicide bombers into northern Iraq, during operations in Mosul on Aug. 25. Multiple intelligence sources and tips from concerned citizens led multi-national forces to a location in Mosul where known foreign fighter facilitator Khallad, a Saudi national, was located. Upon arrival at that location, multi-national forces stopped his vehicle, a gunfight immediately ensued, and Khallad and an unidentified terrorist were shot and killed.
"Multiple intelligence sources and tips from concerned citizens" were responsible for taking out a top terrorist. Cool.
I do enjoy reading your blog! You often report news items that the other blogs miss. I was born in Hartford, CT (apparently the bluest city in the USA) but am a rock-solid Republican. My Yankee upbringing does rear its head in many areas (work ethic is one)and I find it so enjoyable to read another Yankee's opinions.
Posted by: Cyndi at August 27, 2005 12:26 PMGlad to hear you enjoy my blog, Cyndi, but I've got bad news for you: I enjoyed living in New York, and love northern people (I married into a Yankee family), but I'm a Tarheel (Well, actually a Pirate, but that's an in-state thing). I'm North Carolina born and bred.
