...Crescent address. The logbook revealed that a passenger named "Dr. Abdul" took 18 journeys between the local Royal Alexandra Hospital and Neuk Crescent; and another one-way trip to Glasgow airport on June 13. On Monday, one of the suspects detained in Glasgow was identified as Bilal Abdulla, an Iraqi physician who reportedly worked at the same hospital. It is not yet clear if both incidents refer to the same...
...Ubaid, 28, returned to her home in Dora, a notoriously violent Baghdad neighborhood, where U.S. and Iraqi forces fight fierce daily battles against Sunni insurgents. As the fighting escalated, her family deemed it too dangerous for her to leave the house. Lonely, she began calling Ali, 32, for the occasional chat; these soon became daily conversations and then blossomed into love. Since neither has a landline, their romance was conducted entirely by cell phone, with Ali spending a third of his $250 monthly salary on phone cards. Meeting was not an option. Though they are both Sunnis, he comes from...
...circulating on cell phones and posted on several Arabic websites shows the "honor killing" of Dua Khalil Aswad, a teen-age girl from the minority Yazidi faith who defied her family and married a Muslim.

In Baqubah, General Odierno had told the Iraqis, "It's up to you to make sure [al-Qaeda] doesn't come back." One could only wonder about the fate of Sunni insurgents who had turned against the jihadis. Soon they would be facing a new foe, an Iraqi army and local police that have been notoriously awful in Diyala province - riddled with Shi'ite death...
...second briefing, in a joint U.S.-Iraqi command post in the middle of Baqubah, was less optimistic. An Iraqi general said that he was pretty certain that the al-Qaeda leadership had slipped away, north to Tikrit and Samarra, and that many of the fighters were burying their equipment before they left town, hoping to return - as always - when the Americans left. In the days that followed, it became clear that almost all of al-Qaeda's fighters had gotten out. In a guerrilla war, only the stupidest guerrillas allow themselves to be lured into set-piece battles against...
