| Special Groupie Turned In by his Brother |
| 2008-08-16 |
| BAGHDAD -- With the help from his family, Coalition forces captured a key suspected Special Groups assistant during operations Saturday morning in Al Kut, about 170 km southeast of Baghdad in Wasit Province. Based on intelligence information, Coalition forces approached a building in Al Kut, where they found the targeted individual's brother. The brother led forces to a nearby house where they detained the wanted man without incident. The captured suspect is believed to be one of the key assistants for the overall Special Groups leader in the Al Kut region. His capture will likely lead to further degradation of the Iranian-backed Special Groups interests in Iraq, which have not recovered since Iraqi security forces removed their safe-havens throughout the country. |
