USWAR/23 Ansar al-Islam members killed

Uraman, Suleymaniyah, April 3, IRNA -- Some 23 members of Ansar
al-Islam forces have been killed in clashes with Kurdish Peshmergas
and US forces in Uraman in the Iraqi Sulaymaniyah province early
Thursday morning.
A military source told IRNA that several foreign nationals,
including Saudis, Afghans, Moroccans and Algerians, all holding
foreign visas, could be seen among those killed in the operations, an
Iraqi Kurd military official told IRNA.
The source said the dead people are members of Arab-Afghan
al-Qaeda group, identity of one of them is not yet clear.
He said considerable munitions were seized from the group.

Note in the maps below how far south the Sulaymaniyah
province runs. I don't have a link handy, but I recall that
senior officials have provided direct links & financial
support between Saddam's regime & Ansar al-Islam.
