US forces nailed some al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq:
"During a series of coordinated operations west of Tarmiyah, coalition forces targeted associates of senior Al-Qaeda in Iraq leaders believed to be in the area," the statement said.
"(US forces) observed several armed men in the target area and, perceiving hostile intent, called for supporting aircraft to engage," it said.
Fighting by ground forces and strikes by aircraft killed 25 suspected Al-Qaeda fighters and wounded four. The wounded were among 21 people taken prisoner.
Two large arms caches were uncovered during the operation, the military said.
I'm always interested to see that the jihadis continue to surrender rather than fight to the death.
And we scored a success against Iran's minions:
In a separate statement, the US military said that on November 4 it had arrested the leader of the "special groups" in Diyala province, northwest of Baghdad.
US commanders accuse secret cells of Shiite militias, known as "special groups", of smuggling sophisticated weapons into Iraq with the support of Tehran and using them against American troops.
Keep pursuing these, guys and the very significant trend for lower casualties that we are experiencing will accelerate.
