BBC: Bush recent visit to Iraq is to play down the British defeat
- The camera shows first the landscape then it moves to the center and zoom on the rockets launcher, there is no repetition like other videos of the same kind, Saraya Saad is Abi Waqqas [not Alqaeda related] shows an attack on an American base in Mahmudiya.
- Reported on almalafpress Iraqi MP in the so called “Iraqi parliament” Shatha AlAbusi says there are 30,000 detainees their cases were not presented to the court simply because they are not charged with anything, they were arrested indiscriminately during the raids.
- Excellent analysis from BBC reporter says recent Bush visit to Iraq is just to pretend that he is not isolated.

Germans search for 10 more terror suspects
German authorities were searching Thursday for about 10 suspected supporters of an Islamic group linked to al-Qaeda believed to have assisted three militants arrested for plotting imminent attacks against Americans in Germany, an official said.
Authorities believed “some 10″ further suspects provided support to the two German converts and a Turkish citizen who were arrested Tuesday, August Hanning, a top security official, told the ARD broadcaster.
“This is the network that we are aware of at the moment,” Hanning said, adding that authorities believe the splintered cell — which includes more converted Germans, Turks and other citizens — no longer poses a direct security threat.
The three arrested suspects had military-style detonators and enough material to make bombs more powerful than those that killed 191 people in Madrid in 2004 and 52 commuters in London two years ago, prosecutors said Wednesday.
“We were able to succeed in recognizing and preventing the most serious and massive bombings,” German Federal Prosecutor Monika Harms said at a news conference Wednesday. She declined to name specific targets.
