Troops Raid al Qaeda Media Network

by John Little on 23/11/2007

Here’s the update from DefenseLink:

Coalition forces in Iraq detained seven suspects today in three coordinated operations targeting al Qaeda’s media network southeast of Samarra.

One of the targeted buildings is believed to be used as a propaganda production facility and meeting location for senior leaders, officials said.

“These operations are another step on the road to a peaceful Iraq, where innocent civilians can live without fear of terrorist attacks,” said Army Maj. Winfield Danielson, a Multinational Force Iraq spokesman. “Defeating al Qaeda’s propaganda networks undermines their fundraising and recruiting.”

I hope they killed the guy who picks the music for their videos.
