Continuing the Sweep
Operation Swarmer is in its second day. Not much to report--no battles or casualties, 6 storage sites of weapons found and 40 guys detained (10 quickly released). And no Abu Mussab al Zarqawi (or Izzat Ibrahim). The concentration of hammer (air delivered) and anvil (soldiers in trucks and tracked vehicles) in a 10 mile by 10 mile area, leads me to believe this is a manhunt rather than an area clearer. Let's hope the Iraqi intelligence (they picked the area to air assault) is better than ours.
