Evan Kohlmann to Comment on Wash Post Article on Foreign Fighters in Iraq
By Andrew Cochran
Today's "Washington Post" ran a front-page article titled, "Among Insurgents in Iraq, Few Foreigners Are Found" about the detarmination that none of the terrorists captured at the battle of Tall Afar were from outside Iraq. The article cited the CSIS study by Anthony Cordesman and Nawaf Obeid (Acrobat file) for the proposition that foreign fighters are relatively few in number among the Iraqi terrorists. Evan Kohlman strenuously disagrees with the proposition and has discussed his research here often. You can see this single CT Blog post with links to his other articles on the subject, and he will address the "Washington Post" article later today.
