| 2007-09-17 |
| Iraqi Special Operations Forces, with U.S. Special Forces as advisers, killed two insurgents during an operation targeting an extremist company commander Sept. 16 in ad Diwaniyah. As the Iraqi and U.S forces arrived at the target location, the first insurgent brandished a weapon and rushed the team members displaying hostile intent. The assault team immediately suppressed the threat with proportionate and well-aimed fire. The second assault team observed a second insurgent jumping from roof to roof. When he made a move to retrieve a weapon, the forces responded to the threat and suppressed it using proportionate and well-aimed fire. Insurgents continued to attack the teams with small arms fire and grenades as the teams departed the target location. |
