That Was Great,
And one of the problems that they had back then, or the Iraqi authorities who were supervising the camp back then, is that they're all elderly people. And that was back in 2007. So most of them had health issues.
And from what I remember from my days at the State Department, when they used to go and chant at the corner in front of the State Department requesting to be lifted from the terrorism list, there were only a few of them, and they were only elderly people. And as many people might know, they're more of a cult rather than an organized organization or military. So to rely on them militarily, I don't think that they are an option.
That's one thing. The other thing you were discussing about the issue on the Najaf Desert, Karbala-Najaf Desert, and I remember that you mixed it up with the guy who just got killed by a drone, Abu Hassan al-Rayji, near Durf al-Sakhar. Durf al-Sakhar, if you don't know, it's a small town south of Baghdad, between Baghdad and Hella, Babylon province.
And it is like a camp, or a big... The Hezbollah headquarters, right? Yes. And a drone hit a car, like, near that area, near Alexandria, and Abu Hassan al-Rayji was killed. This is separate from the incident of the Najaf and Karbala Desert, because what happened yesterday is that a number of shepherds reported that they were interrogated by some foreign soldiers.
And when an Iraqi military unit went to check on them, that military unit was attacked, and some soldiers were injured, and one soldier was killed. So it was all over the news in Iraq today, and he was named, by name, the name of the soldier, and who he is. So, my two cents, and I hope I didn't take so much of your time, and thank you for letting me... No, that was great, thank you.
