BAGHDAD, July 29 (KUNA) -- The US military said on Sunday that the 1920
Revolution Brigades have reconciled with the Iraqi government and the US
military.
A statement issued by the US said the "Sunni group" had rejected the Iraqi
government in the past, but had reconciled with both the government and
coalition forces to eliminate Al-Qaeda.
The group is the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement in Iraq,
formerly called the Iraqi National Islamic Resistance.
Moreover, the US statement said the Multi-National Force (MNF) was
conducting a rescue mission operation yesterday for one of the Brigade's men
kidnapped by Al-Qaeda when they also discovered a large stock of weapon caches
in the hideout northwest of Baghdad.
The statement added MNF that forces raided a building were they found the
kidnapped man tortured by Al-Qaeda for suspecting he was a spy for the
brigades.(end)
