Desert Derelicts dropping like flies....

I may have been slacking over the last few days, but the guys in Iraq have not.

Round 'em up!
Raids in Iraq Net Suspected Terrorists, Weapons

Look what the Iraqi Security Forces dragged out of a spider hotel in Samawa. What kind of animal could cut the throats of 15 people???
IRAQ: ANSAR AL-SUNNA LEADER ARRESTED

Ahmad Khadir Shahd al-Ghariri, an Ansar al-Sunna leader operating in the Larifaya district, the so-called 'triangle of death", was picked up by Iraqi security forces, the al-Mada neswpaper said.

Police chief Muhammad Abu Kahila was cited by the newspaper as saying that the militant leader had cut the throats of at least 15 people and carried out attacks on Iraqi police patrols and American troops. He was the head of a group of 15 militants and is thought to have been captured inside a hotel in the city of Samawa, south of the capital.


And then there's these scumbags:
In another operation, police also arrested four criminals responsible for the kidnapping and sexual assault of young women in the area south of Baghdad. The four have admitted to kidnapping and raping four female students who were on their way to university, demanding a ransom of 25,000 dollars for each girl.


It looks like Abdullah won't be driving Mr. Al Qaeda anymore.

COALITION FORCES CAPTURE DRIVER OF KEY AL QAIDA LEADER

Hmm. I wonder who else he was squiring around town?

Abu Nur also drove for another key terrorist leader who is still at large and his name is being withheld for operational reasons.
