St. Cloud Times from Saint Cloud, Minnesota (2024)

4A St. Cloud Times World Wednesday, July 14, 2004 Compiled from Times news services 5 Qecw Cnnlvezjaz PHCC3M0NTHS0F because of his closeness to the fugitive al-Qaida chief. Khaled bin Ouda bin Mohammed al-IIarby, a crippled sheik, was shown on Saudi TV being pushed in a wheelchair through the Riyadh airport. He is the most important figure to surface under a Saudi amnesty promising to spare the lives of militants who turn themselves in. Al-Harby also known as Abu Suleiman al-Makky is also considered a sounding board for the al-Qjuda chief rather than an operational planner for his terrorism network.

S'A Police raid nabs 500 Iraqi suspects BAGHDAD, Iraq More than 500 criminal suspects were in jail Tuesday after Iraqi police launched the largest anti-crime offensive since the country gained sovereignty two weeks ago. About 200 well-armed officers charged into the crime-ridden Bab al-Sheikh neighborhood on Monday east of the Tigris River and arrested hundreds of suspected killers, robbers, car thieves and kidnappers in a 90-minute operation. One suspect was killed and two wounded in a shootout in the neighborhood's narrow lanes.

Two police officers were injured. Local residents cheered the raid, designed to break a criminal stranglehold on the neighborhood and show that the often-maligned Iraqi police are up to the job of protecting the public two weeks after the U.S. occupation officially ended.
