Coalition Forces detain six suspected al-Qaeda terrorists

BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces detained six suspected terrorists during operations Wednesday and Thursday targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq in Mosul and Baghdad.

Coalition Forces detained five suspected terrorists Thursday morning during a raid on a series of buildings in Baghdad. The five were detained for their association with a senior terrorist leader who is believed to be a military advisor for an al-Qaeda emir in the area.

Wednesday morning, Coalition Forces detained one suspected terrorist while targeting an al-Qaeda senior leader in Mosul. The targeted individual is believed to have replaced the al-Qaeda emir of east Mosul after his capture May 31.
In the position less than a month. Not even enough time on the job to learn the names of his direct reports.

“We’re continuing to dismantle the insidious terrorist network and reduce its influence, so Iraqis can choose their own future,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson.

The heck with the direct reports. It's when they're not quite sure who the boss is that someone should be worried. (Of course it doesn't help that the boss has only been there three days...)
