| Safehouse Destroyed; 10 Terrorists Detained | |
| 2005-08-04 | |
| Coalition forces conducted a raid in western Ramadi early Aug. 3 resulting in the capture of 10 suspected terrorists. Upon arrival at the intended target, a local Iraqi citizen confirmed the building was being used as a terrorist safehouse.
Prior to the raid, a male who lived in the safehouse came outside and told Coalition forces that terrorists were storing explosives inside where his two small children remained. Coalition forces immediately rescued the children and escorted them away from the building. The children were safely reunited to their family. The building was then destroyed by attack helicopters. Secondary explosions were seen. Additionally, improvised explosive device materials and weapons were found in the safehouse during the post-strike search. The 10 suspected terrorists are currently detained for further questioning. It must be extraordinarily hard to be a soldier surrounded by people desperate for your help. It's less fighting the bad guys than saving people's lives. | |
