Can you imagine a terror organization worse than Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's al Qaeda in Iraq? The Army of Ansar al-Sunnah is such a group. These guys specialize in killing any and every Kurdish leader, Turkish truck driver, Shia cleric, and Iraqi government official.

Here is a press release from Task Force Freedom as published by the Stryker Brigades in Northern Iraq:

Iraqi Army troops alongside Stryker Brigade Soldiers detained Mullah Mahdi, leader of the Ansar Al-Sunnah terror cell based in Mosul, and four associates during cordon and search operations in Mosul. Mahdi is wanted by Iraqi authorities for a number of terror acts conducted in Mosul including multiple kidnappings, attacks on polling stations, mortar attacks on Multi-National Forces, and the likely murdering of a local government officials.

Along with local terror leaders, ISF and MNF have recently captured a number of foreign fighters from Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Morocco who have revealed during interviews that they have been lied to and deceived by terror leaders to get them to fight in Iraq. Foreign fighters were told MNF Soldiers were raping women and destroying Iraq. They were also told by terror leaders inside Iraq that they would be asked to fight and kill Americans, but once they arrived were ordered to kill innocent Iraqi civilians instead.
