Another facilitator dispatched in western Iraq
CentCom has released news of two terrorists killed in Husaybah on Nov 2, before the start of Operation Steel Curtain. One was a foreign fighter facilitator, and one provided logistical support to terrorist cells.
As with many of the facilitators listed below, these two were killed with precision air strikes on suspected safe houses. This is a good sign of high quality intelligence. The military does not bomb houses from the air unless they are pretty sure of what's inside. We may never know the complete story of how this kind of intelligence is being gathered, but someone somewhere is doing a marvleous job.
The leadership of the terrorist network bringing in fighters from Syria has to be in shambles at this point, at least in the western river towns closest to Syria. Here is the current tally of facilitators killed since September.
