Precisely targeted attacks continue to pay dividends...
US forces in Iraq have killed the alleged mastermind of a guerrilla attack in which five US troops died, military officials have said.

Azhar al-Dulaimi was believed to be behind a raid in which guerrillas posing as US troops attacked a military base in Karbala. One US soldier was killed and four others abducted and later gunned down.

"We found him finally Friday morning," Maj Gen Caldwell told CNN. "We went in on a precision operation to capture him and in the pursuing engagement that occurred, he was killed."
Of course, it's not as productive as Islamic warfare.
