A marine from the fifth division died of the injuries inflicted by insurgents in Al-Anbar, according to a U.S. Army statement. Meanwhile, one Iraqi police officer was injured today when an IED blew up at an intersection near his patrol in Baqouba, said a joint coordination center statement. Insurgents also detonated an IED in a residential area injuring three civilians. Fourteen militants were arrested Monday in southern Baghdad, two of which are allegedly leaders of militant groups, announced a MNF statement today. The raid in Al-Yusufiya was based on information obtained from previous operations. MNF forces have tightened security in Al-Yusifiya after two soldiers were abducted and killed on June 16th. In other news, the body count for yesterday's booby-trapped bike attack in northern Baqouba reached 18 deaths and 23 injuries including women and children. |
