US commander says infiltration routes into Iraq have been disrupted

A US Marine who commands US and Iraqi forces in western Iraq says insurgents in the city of Rutbah no longer have freedom of movement and that routes of infiltration along Iraq's border with Syria have been disrupted.

Colonel Stephen Davis on February 10 said obstacles to Iraq's progress as a free nation. "We have managed to target the networks we're looking for," he said, "taking out the facilitators, the financiers, the operations guys." Any al-Qaida-related activity specifically is targeted, he said.
