Iraqi and Coalition Forces stage raids near Baqubah

TIKRIT, Iraq – Iraqi Soldiers from 3rd Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 5th Iraqi Army Division worked with Coalition Forces Jan. 29 to raid an anti-Iraqi forces cell targeting coalition bases in Baqubah.

The Iraqi Soldiers, joined by members of 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, planned and conducted several raids to capture terrorists who were behind mortar and rocket attacks on coalition bases. Prior to the raids, unit leaders targeted several specific AIF members who were believed to be behind the attacks and operating in the nearby town of Septia.

The raid into Septia began just after daybreak, and the units completed the mission by about noon. In all, three targeted terrorists and 15 other suspected AIF members were detained. The units also seized a weapon, several hundred rounds of ammunition and one IED triggering device.

This operation between the Iraqi Army and Coalition Forces is another example of the growing competence and capability of the Iraqi Army as they continue to assume more responsibility for Iraq’s security and the safety of its citizens.

Iraqi Army battalion assumes battle space responsibility

TIKRIT, Iraq – The 1st Battalion, 3rd Brigade, 2nd Iraqi Army Division is the latest Iraqi unit to gain control of its own battle space.

The unit commander, Brig. Gen. Ali Mullah, accepted the responsibility of protecting the area, south of Mosul, during a transfer of authority ceremony with a unit from the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team Jan. 28 and said, “The terrorists are taking their last breaths and the end is near…there is no place for them [to hide].”

When asked if his troops could maintain security from Qayyrah to the Mosul-Baghdad highway, Ali said, “My Soldiers and I will ensure that security and stability are maintained.”

The unit’s area, approximately 150 square kilometers, is west of the Tigris River east of the Mosul-Baghdad highway and between the villages of Aitha in the south and Munirah in the north.

The battalion grew out of an Iraqi Civil Defense Corps company and now has more than 800 trained and ready soldiers.

It was certified ready to assume the frontline in the counter-insurgency fight after conducting more than two dozen major, battalion-level missions.

The unit has trained hard and fought harder to earn its right to stand alone. Thirteen of the unit’s soldiers have given their lives in defense of their country.

MNDCS launches new training for Iraqi Police

CAMP ECHO, Iraq – Multi-National Division Central-South and Iraqi Police organized and held two conferences concerning the support for police forces in Diwaniyah and Kut provinces recently. The conference initiated a new training period for Iraqi Police in 2006. This year is being hailed as the Year of the Police.

The conferences were opened by MNDCS commander Maj. Gen. Piotr Czerwinski. Chiefs of Iraqi Police from Diwaniyah and Kut (former Wasit) provinces and MNDCS Police Training Teams participated in the conferences.

Iraqi policemen presented the current state of structures, organization of IP departments, infrastructure conditions and situation in the provinces. They also presented the needs in training and logistics matters. The directions of IP development were also presented and considered.

Participants of the conferences summarized previous periods of training and discussed the directions of this process in 2006. They discussed the main elements of the MNDCS support for Iraqi Police which are training, advising and equipping.

“Our goal is to build credible Iraqi Police structures, capable of independent law enforcement operations and ready to provide a secure environment in provinces,” said Czerwinski.

And on the home front it seems that El Presidenta Blair the grinning buffoon is loosing the War on Crime. Feral animals rule the streets of the UK:timesonline

A MAN who told three young men to pick up litter that they had dropped in the street was subjected to a savage beating, a court was told yesterday.

Closed-circuit television pictures of the three attacking Raymond Beattie was shown to the court. The three men could be seen launching a “brutal and sustained” attack on their victim, who was knocked to the ground and then kicked and stamped on.

Bristol Crown Court heard how the men attacked Mr Beattie, 45, in broad daylight in the centre of Bristol. Danny Rich, 20, Craig Martin, 18, and Ricky Vockings, 20, pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm and were each sentenced to one year in a young offenders’ institute.

** So much for Blair getting tough on crime, yet they can find the time to piss about ensuring that cats have their 5 basic rights respected. Wankers the lot of them. As for the sentence that sucks, one year in some glorified holiday camp where they get to learn sod all except how to be better criminals. Neuter the fucktards so they cant pass their dna onto another generation. Still lets hope that when they get free they soon end up back in a real prison this time where they get many restless nights of being the bitch of Big Reg the Daddy of C Block. Fucking savage animals the lot of them. My solutions to crime:
1 sack every bleeding heart social worker - useless cunts the lot of them.
2. Make prisoners serve out the full term - time off for good behaviour is rubbish, if they behaved well they would not be prison vermin in the first place.
3. Make them work for food and board - why should the tax payer pay yet again, also cut the benefits off for their wives and all the sprogs they fire off into the world.
4. If they dont let them starve. No big loss to society.
5. Sack half the so called judges who use phrases like "deprived childhood" when letting vermin go back onto the streets.
