Iraqi Tribesmen Detain 270 Al Qaeda

Chad Evans at In The Bullpen has the report. It's not clear how the tribesmen were able to capture a force of 270 armed terrorists but there must be an interesting story behind it.

Everyone has come to know al Qaeda as largely a fight-to-the death organization so walking them down the road in captivity is quite unusual. Involvement of tribal leaders in the security of Iraq is a necessity and, as attested to by these latest captures, very effective.
