Taking down a Fedayeen cell
Fox News:
"U.S. Army units in Baghdad rounded up a Fedayeen cell in northern Baghdad on Friday, seizing a significant number of explosive devices that were readied for a strike against coalition forces, Fox News has learned.
...
"In Friday's Baghdad raid, nine cell members, including the guerrilla leader, were arrested at dawn. The gang leader was responsible for coordinating three different cells, according to Lt. Col. Garry Bishop of the 1st Armored Division.
"The raid was based on a tip from an informant and resulted in the capture of rockets, anti-tank missiles, explosives, timing devices and six 100-pound barrels of fertilizer.
"It's thought there were enough weapons and ammunition to launch an attack comparable to the October homicide truck-bomb attack on the Red Cross.
" 'The suspected attack time was tomorrow [Saturday] night,' Bishop told Fox News. 'The information we received, we believe, is a fallout from information gleaned from the capture of Saddam, which identified certain cell leaders throughout the Baghdad area.' "
