Captured Papers Show Weakening Iraqi Insurgency
(AP/ABC News) Patrick Quinn - A document purportedly captured in an al-Qaeda hideout portrays the insurgency in Iraq as losing strength, and proposes ways to stir up trouble between the U.S. and Iran to divert American attention. Arrests, weapons seizures, and money shortages are taking a heavy toll on al-Qaeda's insurgency in Iraq, according to the three-page transcript released Thursday by the Iraqi government. The document, describing the "current bleak situation," said the insurgency was being hurt by an increase in U.S.-trained Iraqi forces. Meanwhile, American and Iraqi forces have killed 104 insurgents in 452 raids nationwide since al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed last week, the U.S. military said.
