(KUNA) -- An Iraqi Army unit captured two Al Qaeda in Iraq members wanted for attacks against Iraqi and Coalition forces during a raid in Samarra three days ago, a multinational forces statement said Monday. The Iraqi unit backed with Coalition force advisors, carried out an air strike in the vicinity of a building used to hold weekly religious meetings for members of Al-Qaedi in Iraq."Iraqi Army forces quickly cordoned off the area and entered the structure looking for several individuals connected to AQIZ. These individuals are believed responsible for improvised explosive device, sniper and other attacks against Iraqi Police, Iraqi Army, and Coalition forces," the statement said. Iraqi forces captured two wanted individuals, one of whom has an outstanding Ministry of Interior arrest warrant. Some 13 other individuals were detained. A cache containing a large amount of mortar ammunition and weapons was found in a nearby building. The statement stressed that "Iraqi and Coalition forces respect the significance of sites used for religious purposes. While the building was not a mosque, Iraqi Forces took all precautions normally used for entry into mosques or other religious sites, and they respect the sanctity of all holy sites. Iraqi Forces only enter mosques or other religious sites when they are being used for illegal activities, to detain terrorists or seize material that can be used to harm Iraqi citizens, Iraqi forces and Coalition forces." Only Iraqi forces entered the building and no damage occurred, the statement added.
