Al-Qaeda Militants Stealing Blood from Iraqi Hospitals
Editor's summary:
Iraq — Al-Qaeda in Mesopotamia is stealing blood from hospitals and blood banks in some of Iraq's Sunni populated provinces for use in medical procedures performed on its members, according to a New York Times article (link below).
The Times reports that "Iraqi health officials say the raids have been occurring for some time", however officials in Iraq's Health, Defense and National Security Ministries, as well as the U.S. military, are unaware of these armed robberies.
