U.S. GIs Hunt for Suspected Iraq Bomber

"MUSALKAH, Iraq (AP) - The Americans came in the pre-dawn darkness, looking for a long-faced Iraqi with fair skin they believe was behind a pair of roadside bombings that killed five fellow soldiers last month.

Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division raided this small, dusty village on the rocky banks of the Tigris River just minutes before the morning call to prayer on Friday. They carried an old, grainy photo of the suspect.

But he was nowhere to be found. Villages said he hadn't been there in months.

It was a frustrating moment for soldiers in the division's 3rd Brigade, known as the "Rakkasans," who are intent on finding the insurgents responsible for killing their five comrades in the Nov. 19 bombings."

This is new, this story is more like a blog entry than a news story. I wonder what's up?
