A couple more mid-level leaders get rolled up. Seems to be a lot of that going around these days.
Acting on intelligence information, Coalition forces conducted a raid on the residence of a suspected Iranian-trained Special Groups leader in al-Mahawil, which lies about 70 km south of Baghdad near Hillah. Coalition forces entered the suspected outlaw’s residence where he surrendered without incident. In a separate operation near Al Kut, intelligence tips ... Hopefully legitimate and not just personal grievance settling. ... helped Coalition forces track down the hideout of a suspected Special Groups criminal, who sources allege is the primary weapons smuggler and financier for Special Groups elements in that area. Coalition forces stormed the suspected criminal’s location, about 30 km east of Al Kut, where he and another suspected criminal surrendered. “As Special Groups leaders and their criminal associates flee their normal area of operations, Iraqi and Coalition Security Forces will continue to track and disrupt their activities,” said U.S. Army Capt. Charles Calio, MNF-I spokesperson. “We will continue to deny these criminals refuge in any part of Iraq.” | |
