Al Qaeda suspects killed, US says: 30 held in Iraq, military declares (Christian Berthelsen and Julian Barnes, October 16, 2007, Los Angeles Times)

The US military announced yesterday that it had killed three suspected terrorists with ties to Al Qaeda in Iraq and captured 30 more in a series of operations in central and northern Iraq between Saturday and early yesterday. [...]

On Saturday, US forces killed the three suspected terrorists in an air strike on two boats southwest of Samarra, about 60 miles north of Baghdad. The US launched the attack after a man under surveillance boarded a boat and later rendezvoused with a second craft, and people aboard began transferring weapons and equipment, military officials said. Ground forces later discovered a weapons cache at a site connected to one of the men aboard.
