BAGHDAD (Reuters) - About 60 percent of the foreign militants fighting in Iraq have come from U.S. allies Saudi Arabia and Libya, unidentified U.S. military officials said in a newspaper report on Thursday.

The New York Times said the information was found in documents uncovered in a U.S. military raid on an insurgents' camp near Sinjar, in northwest Iraq near the Syrian border, in September.




They attacked you on 119 and continue to make mischief and yet SA is our 'friend'.

"Libyans"??? Why Libyans? Any speculations?

According to the article, Yemenis are 3rd most common foreign militants and Syrians 4th.

I can't answer your question but I suspect that their data is somewhat inaccurate. I'd hazard a quess that the most populace Foriegn fighters in Iraq are American:)

But joshing aside, I have to wonder why 'we' attacked Iraq when all of the evidence points towards others being far more naughty....... but let me guess ...$£ etc..
