(Via The Tocquevillian) Four With Al Qaeda Ties Arrested in Najaf Mosque Bombing:
NAJAF, Iraq — Iraqi police have arrested four men in connection with the bombing of Iraq's most holiest Shiite Muslim shrine, and all four have connections to Usama bin Laden's Al Qaeda terror network, a senior police official told The Associated Press on Saturday.It's what they do. It's all they do. Until they're dead.
The official, who said the death toll in the Friday bombing had risen to 107, said the four arrested men -- two Iraqis and two Saudis -- were caught shortly after the car bombing on Friday.
The bombing killed one of the most important Shiite clerics in Iraq, Ayatollah Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim, who had been cooperating with the American occupation force.
The police official, who led the initial investigation and interrogation of the captives, said the prisoners told of other plots to kill political and religious leaders and to damage vital installations such as power plants, water supplies and oil pipelines.
