Via the NYT: Militants Kidnap Three Iraq Officials
Militants abducted three senior Iraqi officials, beheaded a man who worked for the U.S. military and killed at least four others, officials said Saturday, a day after a U.S. general warned that insurgents may be planning “horrific'’ attacks ahead of Jan. 30 elections.
I fear the same: that this is the insurgents best chance to seriously damage the process of building a viable government in Iraq, and that they will at least try some dramatic attack to send fear into potential voters.
