Fox News fans will probably scream ‘I told you so’ when they see this. Truthfully, these guys are probably working on their own. Despite the myths Iraq’s border is quite porous - over the past two weeks it would have been especially easy for aQ operatives to get in and do as they please. Remember, they don’t care about Saddam. They are looking for a representation in post-war Iraq. It would be far easier to establish this foothold now than after America takes control.
Islamist: al- Qaida holds coalition troops](Islamist: al-Qaida holds coalition troops - UPI.com)
LONDON, April 2 (UPI) – A Muslim fundamentalist source claimed Wednesday that Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida network captured five coalition troops in Iraq.
The source who requested anonymity told United Press International by telephone that the kidnapping of four U.S. troops and a British soldier, took place last Saturday in al-Zubair region of southern Iraq, close to the Kuwaiti border.
He said the “kidnapped troops will be equally treated as al-Qaida prisoners held in Guantanamo Bay.”
He said al-Qaida will soon release a videotape of the captured soldiers and will ask to swap them with al-Qaida suspects being held by the United States.
