U.S. nabs rebel suspects, seizes arms
Large weapons cache, arrests said to be ‘head of a snake’
A soldier of U.S. Army's 4th Infantry Division guards a detained Iraqi man
during a night raid in Khadasiya, a northern suburb of Tikrit.
TIKRIT, Iraq, Dec. 11 — U.S. forces arrested three men suspected of heading
Iraqi rebel cells in their homes in the early hours of Thursday and said they
seized a cache of weapons big enough to launch 50 guerrilla attacks.
IN THE FRONT garden of one of the two houses raided in the northern
Iraqi city of Tikrit, soldiers dug up a hoard of rifles, grenades and
explosives that the commanding officer described as “a Fedayeen candy
shop.”
“This is mission-oriented. This is stuff they dole out,” said Lt.
Col. Steve Russell of the U.S. 4th Infantry Division.
“They are not moving weapons here — this is the head of a snake,”
he told reporters invited to witness the raid.
“They are probably in charge of two or three cells. This is one of the
most unusual varieties of weapons caches we have seen.”
U.S.-led coalition forces in Iraq have been dogged by attacks, often in
the form of improvised bombs against military convoys. They are believed
launched by rebels loyal to former President Saddam Hussein, some of whom have
been identified as remnants of Saddam’s feared Fedayeen militia.
Russell said the three men arrested, two brothers and a brother-in-law
all aged about 40, were members of Mohammed’s Army, a group he described as a
“local terrorist cell” based in what is the main city in Saddam’s home
region.
“They are connected to the former regime,” he said.
The men, woken from their sleep next to their wives and children,
pleaded their innocence. But as reporters left the site, soldiers were still
finding white plastic sacks stuffed with weapons buried a few inches under the
soil.
“You have a smoking gun in your hand,” Russell told one of the
arrested men who, according to a U.S. army interpreter, had protested: “I
just sell wood, I sell shoes. Saddam is my enemy.”
As the two men of that house were undergoing initial interrogation
outside, their wives and bleary-eyed young children waited in their bedrooms.
Reuters witnessed as a young boy, prompted by an insistent
Arabic-speaking soldier, lifted the corner of his mother’s mattress to reveal
an AK-47 assault rifle.
Troops also discovered an apparently newly bought wireless doorbell set,
which can be used to trigger bombs from a distance.
Russell said the weapons find was significant as U.S. troops rarely
discover the “middlemen” who are neither fully blown arms traffickers nor
the foot soldiers who pull the trigger, but are in charge of directing attacks.
He said better intelligence and tipoffs were leading to more effective
raids on Iraqi rebels than in recent months.
“We are draining the swamp of the high and the low,” he said. “It
is starting to get pretty good. It is starting to get as good as it was in July
and August.
As the bulk of troops left the house, two U.S. helicopters fired salvos
of explosives into a nearby farmer’s field, a show of force the U.S. military
calls “harassment and interdiction” of local militants.

What no WMD? LOL.

Buh-buh-buh-but I thought the Fedayeen were all armed with deadly WMD
grenades?

Ah, I wish we'd thought of that in Southern Ireland, harassing and
interdicting those pesky terrorists by blowing up fields of potatoes.

The real question is, how do you relate to Nostradamus?
