Al-Qaeda suspect killed in raid

COALITION and Afghan forces killed a suspected Al-Qaeda member and detained 13 others in a raid today on a residential compound in the southeastern province of Khost, the US military announced.

The troops killed the suspect when he tried to flee, disguised as a woman, during the raid in Ya'Qubi district, the military said in a statement.

"The purpose of this operation was to capture a known Al-Qaeda facilitator considered a significant threat to Afghan and coalition forces," it said.

...
The forces seized detonators and other bombmaking materials. Around 60 women and children were also living in the compound.

Al-Qaeda suspect killed in raid

Nothing added...

But sure... dressed as women...means they are not real men
Using women and children as shields...means they are not real men

I am sure this stuff plays much better 'on the Arab street' than it would as a supplement to suburbanites in Australia...
