Via Centcom, more evidence that the terrorists in Iraq are stuck in a quagmire:

BAGHDAD, Iraq – Three terrorists found emplacing improvised explosive devices were killed at approximately 3:30 p.m. May 24 near Abu Ghraib just west of Baghdad. Coalition Forces from 1st Battalion, 1st Marines Regiment, observed three terrorists digging holes and placing IEDs, which positively identified them as terrorists with hostile intent. Coalition Forces then engaged and killed all three terrorists. There was no reported damage to Coalition Forces’ personnel or equipment.

Anecdotally, it appears the "best and brightest" of Zarqawi and bin Laden's gang are no longer involved in major anti-Coalition operations in Iraq.
