It couldn't have happened to more deserving would-be murderers:

Iraqi National Guard troops patrolling in the Wasit Province area of the Polish-led Multi-National Division Central South, reported that anti-Iraqi forces blew themselves up as they prepared an Improvised Explosive Device in Suwayra Sept. 19. The explosion occurred just after midnight killing several anti-Iraqi force personnel as they prepared the IED for Iraqi forces, Iraqi citizens or Multi-National Forces to come upon.

Iraqi security and Multi-National forces will continue to counter and disrupt anti-Iraqi activities, working for a free, secure and prosperous Iraq.

Who's claiming that terrorist operations have grown in complexity?

AND: Here's a heartening story on the progress of firefighters in Baghdad. John Kerry will be fit to be tied.

FOR GOOD MEASURE: The Iraqi Air Force is flying solo in the south.
