From AP:
[U.S. military spokesman Maj. Gen. William Caldwell] said troops carried out 39 raids overnight in which troops "picked up things like memory sticks, some hard drives" that would allow American forces to begin dismantling al-Zarqawi's al-Qaida in Iraq.
Those raids were based on 17 simultaneous raids U.S. troops staged Wednesday near Baqouba, the capital of Diyala province. The region is in the heartland of the Sunni Arab-led insurgency and has seen a recent rise in sectarian violence. Baqouba is 35 miles northeast of Baghdad.
He said the latest information was helping U.S. forces unravel the source of al-Qaida's weapons and financing.
Terrorists around the world are feeling the effects of this. Per Donald Sensing (via Instapundit): "I think that more and more Muslims will decide that Ashraf al-Akhras is right: Allah is in the game, but not on al Qaeda's side."
