"Coalition forces captured a suspected Iranian-trained Special Groups explosives expert Wednesday in Nuaamaniya, about 180 km southeast of Baghdad near Kut," the U.S. army said in a statement received by Aswat al-Iraq - Voices of Iraq (VOI). "Acting on intelligence information, Coalition forces targeted a suspected Iranian-trained improvised explosive device expert. Using information provided by Special Groups criminals already detained, the targeted criminal is believed to have traveled to Iran several times for explosives training," the statement added. "Intelligence sources also said the suspect has numerous Iranian contacts with whom he would meet when smuggling weapons and bomb-making materials into Iraq," it added. "Coalition forces entered the suspected criminalÂ’s residence and subdued him without firing any shots after the man made a move toward a weapon," the army said in a statement. |
