Islamists Discuss Best Timing for Attacking U.S. Checkpoints in Iraq

On January 17, 2007, an Islamist website posted a discussion among Islamists regarding the best timing for attacking U.S. checkpoints in Iraq. Of the various possibilities mentioned by forum participants, the suggestion to attack half an hour before the call for dawn prayers seems to be the most widely accepted. As one of the forum participants explained: "This is the time when a person feels most tired and weak... and the air is very cold even during the summer."

Below is a map, attached to the discussion by forum participants.
