U.S. Captures Israeli among Foreign Insurgents in Iraq
23:05 Oct 20, '05 / 17 Tishrei 5766


(IsraelNN.com) The United States reported Thursday that an Israeli is one of 300 foreign fighters the U.S. army has arrested in Iraq since April. The identity of the Israeli was not revealed, and most of those caught are from Arab states.

Major General Rick Lynch said 311 of the pro-Iraqi foreign fighters have been detained and were responsible for insurgent attacks and suicide car bombings.

Note: I hope they're not counting the detention of the remains of a suicide bomb as a metric of success.
