Score One For The Good Guys
The "Butcher of Ramadi" has been handed over to U.S. and Iraqi troops by local citizens.
Amir Khalaf Fanus -- listed third on a "high-value individuals" list of terrorists wanted by the 28th Infantry Division's 2nd Brigade Combat Team -- was wanted for criminal activities including murder and kidnapping. Ramadi citizens brought him to an Iraqi and U.S. forces military base in Ramadi, where he was taken into custody.
It's great that we've got this guy, but even more encouraging that we do so because the locals were getting sick and tired of him.
