WP. Global guerrillas in Iraq are getting more effective….“What they're doing is focusing efforts on intelligent attacks on infrastructure, especially oil and electricity,” said a senior U.S. diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “The number of attacks is down, but the effectiveness of the attacks is up significantly.”
“When I see where some of these strikes go, it's obvious they knew exactly where to hit to have a maximum impact,”
the official said. But it remained unknown whether the technical
knowledge came from current employees or officials of Saddam Hussein's
deposed Baath Party government who could be working with insurgents. [John Robb's Weblog]
