   ....[1]in Iraq.

     Ansar al-Islam member and chemical expert, Ali Wali, was killed May
     6th at approximately 1 p.m. during a counterterrorist raid in the
     Mansur district of Baghdad. Iraqi civilians transported the two
     bodies to the morgue where Coalition forces later confirmed the
     identity of the wanted terrorist, Ali Wali. Neither Iraqi nor
     Coalition forces were able to confirm the identity of the driver,
     who was killed.
     Ali Wali, full name believed to be Abbas bin Farnas bin Qafqas, was
     a 37 or 38-year-old Iraqi Kurd who served as a key leader in Ansar
     al-Islamâs military (operational) command responsible for training
     and military operations (terrorist activity) to include the
     planning of suicide operations (bombings), ambushes and kidnapping.
     Ali Wali was also an expert in the implementation of explosives as
     well as in the use of artillery, tanks and anti-aircraft weapons.
     Ali Wali allegedly was an expert in toxins and poisons.

   Then some other bad guys [2]took care of themselves.

     An explosion occurred in a building within the Sheik Abdel Kader
     mosque compound at approximately 6 p.m. May 7 in Rusafa, a
     neighborhood of east Baghdad.
     According to the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 6th Iraqi Division,
     the bomb exploded, causing a fire.
     The Iraqi fire department responded and began suppressing the fire
     when firefighters noticed an improvised explosive device inside the
     mosque.
     The Iraqi police explosive ordinance disposal team arrived at the
     mosque to clear the holy site of bombs and bomb making materials.
     The team dismantled six IEDs.
     Initial reports indicate that two terrorists were wounded and
     another one was killed in the blast.

   This type of thing has been happening more frequently, as the more
   experienced guys are already dead or in custody.
