Operation Omens of Prosperity

Jul-30-2008 » Filed Under: 2nd SCR

The Long War Journal also has a good primer on the new offensive in Diyala called Operation Omens of Prosperity. Excerpt:

The long awaited offensive to secure Diyala province has begun. Iraqi Army and police forces, backed by the US Army, officially started Operation Omens of Prosperity today. [...]

The bulk of the offensive is likely to take place in the rural northern regions of the province, where al Qaeda still maintains strongholds. US and Iraqi special operations forces have been hunting al Qaeda in the Hamrin Mountains, which span Diyala, Salahadin, and Tamin provinces. This area is a major fallback position for al Qaeda in Iraq and allied insurgent groups.
