A U.S. Army soldier from Alpha Company of the 8th
Infantry Regiment's 2nd Battallion tells Iraqi men detained during
a pre-dawn raid that they are free to go, in the village of Ain
Lalin, Iraq, August 11, 2003. U.S. soldiers
piled out of Black Hawk helicopters to raid a remote village near
the Iranian border where they believed one of Iraq's top fugitives
had used as base to plot guerilla attacks on U.S. forces. Monday's
pre-dawn raid on the village 100 kilometers (62 miles) northeast
of Baghdad failed to capture its main target, a former regime officer
who is on the U.S. list of 55 most-wanted Iraqis. REUTERS/Murad
