BIYARE, Iraq (AP) - A U.S.-led assault on a compound controlled by an extremist Islamic group turned up a list of names of suspected militants living in the United States and what may be the strongest evidence yet linking the group to al-Qaida, coalition commanders said Monday.



Well damn.

Next thing ya know they'll find chemical and biological weapons.

Well,Before the usual suspects get here.

Its all a lie orchestrated by the CIA,

With full approval of the White House,

And Halliburton

Those fascists! Storming a compund. Makes them sound like stormtroopers. Mass worker strikes will bring those fascists to their knees.

It's all Ross Perot's fault.

Good article.
But it re-affirmed what I'd previously understood before the war rather than support the administration's earlier assertion-
El Ansar has ties to Osama & Iran, but not Saddam.

It was a stronghold on the Iranian border of the kurdish no-fly zone, not exactly under Saddam's thumb. He tolerated them because they opposed the other Kurdish factions.

I think the chemical weapons will be found closer to Bagdahd & Takrit.

I'll agree with that.

While I doubt Saddam supported them or gave them $$ or training or men, he still allowed them to live and function within his territory. Doesn't that still make him just as bad?

wow the headline and the story don't say the same thing.

I guess we weren't able to dislodge them without repeated air strikes, a luxury Saddam didn't have in the no-fly zone.


On the other hand, Nothing could make Saddam good.

Assuming Saddam would ever want them gone at all.
