U.S. Troops Kill Saddam Fedayeen Officer

[wtmusic]

MOSUL, Iraq - U.S. troops shot and killed a senior officer of the paramilitary group Saddam Fedayeen after storming his house in this northern city on Wednesday, his neighbors said.

The U.S. Army confirmed there were raids early Wednesday in Mosul but refused to comment on the reported death of Col. Ghanem Abdul-Ghani Sultan al-Zeidi.

Two of al-Zeidi's neighbors, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said U.S. troops stormed his one-story house in Mosul's central neighborhood of al-Sukar about 4 a.m. and shooting was heard later. Helicopters took part in the operation, the neighbors said.

22. At 4:00 am - guess that would explain the rise in anti-coalition activity

today. I don't know why they would refuse to comment when there's a friggen banner flying outside the guys house.

There were several bullet holes in the gate. A black banner nearby read: "The heroic martyr Colonel Ghanem Abdul-Ghani Sultan al-Zeidi was martyred during a blatant aggression by American forces at his house on 12/10/2003."

I'm worried about you wt. It's OK to talk to yourself, but is gets sorta scary when you answer as well.
