BAGHDAD, Iraq - At least four American soldiers were wounded in guerrilla attacks Saturday, and the U.S.-led coalition said it thwarted a diesel-fuel smuggling operation, boarding a ship off the port of Umm Qasr and forcing it to return to shore.

A 173rd Airborne Brigade on patrol in the northern city of Kirkuk came under rocket-propelled grenade and small arms fire, said Lt. Col. Bill McDonald, spokesman for the 4th Infantry Division operating in the area. Two soldiers wounded in the explosion were in stable condition, McDonald said. The troops returned fire, he said. There was no information on casualties among the attackers. In south-central Baghdad, two soldiers were wounded in a roadside-bomb attack on their armored Humvee, said Maj. Todd Mercer of the 82nd Airborne Division. The military provided no details on the soldiers' condition.


And in the southern city of Basra, which is controlled by British troops, about 1,000 angry residents protested in the streets over cuts in electricity and water service and lines at gasoline stations. Three British soldiers were injured by stones, and two young Iraqi boys were wounded in the melee, witnesses told Associated Press Television News. A British military spokesman denied any soldiers were hurt.


Also Saturday, the military announced that Saddam Hussein former interior minister — No. 29 on the list of 55 most-wanted Iraqis — is in U.S. custody. Mahmud Dhiyab Al-Ahmad surrendered to coalition forces Friday, U.S. Central Command said in a statement. The military had announced his capture in July, but on Saturday said that was an error. "It was bad information, that's all," said Lt. Cmdr. Nick Balice, a Central Command spokesman. "We thought it was correct, but it wasn't. But he surrendered yesterday and is in coalition custody now. He was never in coalition custody before." <snip>

this time however, we aren't high. Not as high, at least. You can trust us now.

In lieu of new captures, they're resorting to capturing some of these guys 'twice,' banking on the hope that those who aren't paying attention will interpret it as a new capture.

When Khalid Sheik Muhommed was killed when they captured Binalsheib, and then captured in May. Gotta love the Dept. of Truth and the memory hole.
