Over 300 deaths of enemy fighters in Iraq
This is excellent news and proof that the new Iraqi Security Forces are stepping up to the plate. Report by Bill Roggio:
Iraqi security forces, backed by American tanks and air support, attacked what appears to be a mixed group of Sunni insurgents and a Shia end-times cult known as the "Soldiers of Heaven." The battle occurred in the suburbs and orchards north of Najaf. "Police Colonel Ali Nomas said 250 militants had been killed," reported Reuters. "The political source said up to 1,000 had been involved. An army source said they wore camouflage and appeared well organised." They were also believed to have possessed anti-arircraft missiles.
Later counts put the number of enemy fighters killed at up to 350, with a minimal loss to Iraqi and U.S. troops.
Also proof that Iraq is working as a "roach motel". Terrorists check in but they don't check out.
