BAGHDAD, Iraq – Soldiers from 2nd Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division conducted a cordon and search at 5 a.m. June 3 in order to capture anti-Iraqi force leadership in the Adhamiyah district located in eastern Baghdad.One is never sure how many of these captures are real and how many either 'set-up' or 'trumped-up', but at least it was Army and not Police.
The intelligence-based, precision mission, Operation Roaring Tiger, netted 19 suspected terrorists that will, according to Multi-National Division – Baghdad, disrupt the AIF’s ability to conduct future attacks in the Adhamiyah area.
19 down, 25 million to go.
One detainee, while being processed, reported having difficulty breathing. The individual was transported to al Yarmook Hospital, where he was pronounced dead of a heart attack.
He was scared to death of how he would be treated.
There were no Iraqi Army or Coalition Force casualties. “This was a complex operation, that netted 19 suspected terrorist leaders from 14 different locations,” said Maj. Gen. J.D. Thurman, commander, MND-B. “It was planned and executed by 2/6 Iraqi Army. It is not only indicative of their capability, but shows the Iraqi people their Soldiers are not only taking the fight to the enemy, they are winning.”
