US SPECIAL FORCES KILL IRAQI SPY

This should make a dent in the fedayeen:

A FORMER Iraqi intelligence officer was killed and two others, along with a US soldier, were wounded overnight when US troops raided his home in the northern city of Mosul, said Iraqi police.

The US soldiers went to the home to arrest Salem Saleh Obeid, a former intelligence officer under Saddam Hussein's ousted regime, but encountered resistance.

Obeid was killed in the ensuing exchange of fire, said a police officer who requested anonymity.

Our guys also rounded up several of Obeid's kin.
