Iraq update October 4, 2007

Al Qaeda in Iraq just keeps getting taken apart. They're still somewhat dangerous, but they are losing human resources as well as this major hit to their financial resources. From MNF-I with Iraqi forces, U.S. Special Forces detain al-Qaeda financier

• During one of the operations, Soldiers from the 6th Iraqi Army Division detained a suspected al-Qaeda financier in Kindi. The extremist financier is suspected of traveling to foreign countries to acquire financial support for terrorist activities and is suspected of supplying more than $50,000 to al-Qaeda each month. He is believed to have received $100,000,000 this summer from terrorist supporters who cross the Iraq border illegally or fly into Iraq from Italy, Syria and Egypt.
