Haider Ajina sends us his translation of an item from the Iraqi newspaper Al Nahrein:
A source in the Iraqi police in Mosul announced that the Iraqi security and U.S. forces have arrested an armed terrorist cell leader along with seven of his immediate deputies. Iraqi security forces are not releasing the name of the terrorist leader since he is still being interrogated. This arrest was due to a tip and intelligence received by the security forces.
This armed terrorist was the leader of a cell in the Wehda area in the western part of Mosul. This terrorist cell was responsible for kidnappings and murders of Iraqi police along with some government officials and prominent citizens.
These things are hard to judge, of course, but it really does seem that a great deal of progress is being made in crushing terrorist networks.
