Kurdish-U.S. Assault Takes Town
With U.S. Special Forces operating field artillery, calling in airstrikes and supervising a massive infantry charge, 6,000 Kurdish fighters today overwhelmed a band of radical Islamic Kurds in a remote mountain valley in northeastern Iraq. The combined Kurdish-U.S. assault began at dawn and ended in a rout. By midafternoon this rugged village in the Shram Mountains near the Iranian border was no longer the headquarters of Ansar al-Islam, a small but dangerous militant group that the Bush administration charges has links to the al Qaeda terror network.

This is very good news and has been under covered by Big Media, IMHO. Ansar al-islam was al Qaeda Jr. and we've virtually wiped them out in a few days. Major kudos to the pesh mergas and U.S. Special Forces! Posted by: Parabellum at March 29, 2003 04:28 PMReward the Kurds. Stiff the Turks. Posted by: arlo at March 29, 2003 05:03 PMPost a comment
