I heard about that today.

Now this is interesting:

Abu Risha, who was 36 or 37, lived within the walls of a massive compound that housed several villas that were home to him and his extended family. The compound was guarded by a tank, and was across the street from the largest U.S. military base in Ramadi. Within the walls were camels, other animals and palm trees, which he spent time showing to visitors.

Guarded by a tank and across the street from the "largest" U.S. military base and he still wasn't safe.

But remember, reports like these tell us that the surge is working.

In other violence Thursday, police said six people were killed and 18 wounded when a bomb under a parked car exploded near the Sadr City section of Baghdad. The bomb was apparently aimed at a U.S. convoy but missed its target, police said.

In eastern Baghdad, a roadside bomb killed one person and injured two others, police also said.

Near Samarra, 60 miles north of the Iraqi capital, authorities said about 60 gunmen attacked a police station and ignited clashes with residents and police — leaving four assailants dead and two policemen wounded.

A U.S. general, meanwhile, said a fatal attack against the headquarters garrison of the American military in Iraq was carried out using a 240 mm rocket — a type of weapon that he claimed Iran provided to Shiite extremists.

One person was killed and 11 were wounded in the attack Tuesday against Camp Victory, which includes the headquarters of Multinational Forces-Iraq.

Classic algerian style guerilla strategy.

And this is the sheik you saw Bush kissing up to in Anbar last week - and that the "general" has been touting all throughout his testimony as the "indicator of our successes"
