BAGHDAD
Multi-National Division-Baghdad Soldiers were given a gift when a sniper walked into their control during a small arms engagement in West Rashid, Jan. 22.
“Black Lions,” of Company B, 1st Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, were hunting for three men believed to have been firing at them, when two men attempting to flee the cordon entered a house occupied by MND-B Soldiers.
One of the men was positively identified at the scene as a known sniper, while the other is an alleged extremist.
The suspected sniper and extremist were taken to a Coalition Detention Facility for further questions.
This is part of Multi-National Division-Baghdad Soldiers’ on going offensive operations in support of Operation Phantom Phoenix, to kill or capture al-Qaeda and Shia/Sunni extremists to deny them rest and sanctuary in Baghdad and the surrounding rural areas.
Wild Thing’s comment……..
LOL I LOVE this, the bad guiy sniper walked right into their control. heh heh. God bless our troops.
Another stupid village idiot. First one fell down the stairs, now this one walks into coalition hands because he couldn’t tell the difference!
Oh boy, the bad guys recruiting efforts have really hit the bottom of the barrel, haven’t they?
WEEE!!! A few more like this and we’ll be able to claim VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!
If McCain doesn’t turn them loose.
I hope that the MND-B soldiers read them their “rights”, gave them a Quran, prayer mat, allowed them to pray five times a day, fed them halal food, and said “please” each time they nicely asked them for information about their fellow freedom fighters and all around nice guys. Otherwise, the soldiers will be vilified on the front page of the New York Slimes with demands for their court martial from John Murtha, Dick Turban, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the rest of the Defeatocrats and wacko left wing liberals. Yes, McCain would probably turn them loose.
Lynn, LMAO yes it is so funny. Talk about stupid. hahaha I am glad he did, but wow how stupid is that.
Tom, THUD, oh no I hope not, but your right. McCain would want to do that. grrrrrr
Les, oh yes all the things you said, sheesh just to keep Pelosi etc. happy.
And just think that in 1998 Sandy ‘Stocking Stuffer Burglar’ Berger had … x OBL x …

Darth, oh that’s right. Burglar Berger grrrrr
