| U.S. Special Forces, Iraqi Army detain three amid combat |
| 2007-08-06 |
| Members of the Iraqi Army, with U.S. Special Operations Forces as advisors, detained three individuals in Diwaniya during an operation intended to disrupt a rogue Jaysh al-Mahdi insurgent group, August 3. After the three individuals were detained, Iraqi and U.S. forces encountered enemy small arms fire and rocket propelled grenades at the target location. Due to the location of the insurgents, air support was called in and delivered proportionate fire that killed the three insurgents. No Iraqi civilians were present during the air-strike. The three individuals detained are allegedly responsible for attacks on Iraqi and Coalition Forces in the Diwaniya area. |
