Head On Over There, Boys

In a strange way, this is good news.

MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- Spanish police early Monday arrested 15 people suspected of recruiting and indoctrinating others to be sent to fight against Western forces in Iraq, according to Spain's interior minister, Jose Antonio Alonso.

The arrests included an Iraqi man Spanish authorities said was linked to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq.

An Interior Ministry press release said eight Moroccans, an Iraqi, an Egyptian, a Frenchman, a Ghanian, a Bellarussian, a Saudi, and a Spaniard were also among those arrested.

"The network of the people arrested aimed to recruit and indoctrinate mujahideen or holy warriors to be sent to fight in Iraq," Alonso said, adding that the group "had contact with the hard core of al Qaeda in Iraq."

Go on boys, saddle up for Iraq. Better there than here; and you're much more likely to get killed over there.
