| Coalition Forces killed two terrorists and detained 19 suspected terrorists during operations in central and western Iraq Friday targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq senior leaders and their associates. Coalition Forces targeted the leaders of al-Qaeda in Iraq during coordinated raids on several buildings in Tarmiyah. As Coalition Forces entered one of the buildings, two men charged the ground forces and attempted to assault them. Coalition Forces, reacting in self-defense, engaged the two men, killing them. Another man was injured by a ricochet bullet from the engagement and was taken to a military medical facility. During the raids, Coalition Forces detained six suspected terrorists, including a targeted individual who is an alleged weapons facilitator in Anbar province and closely tied to al-Qaeda in Iraq senior leaders. A separate raid in Tarmiyah netted two more suspected terrorists tied to the religious emir of al-Qaeda in Iraq. West of Taji, Coalition Forces conducted operations on two buildings in search of a close associate of the al-Qaeda in Iraq emir of Karmah. The ground forces captured eight suspected terrorists, including the targeted individual, who is allegedly involved in conducting terrorist attacks, coordinating suicide operations and importing weapons from abroad. Coalition Forces raided two buildings in southwestern Baghdad and detained three suspected terrorists allegedly tied to the al-Qaeda in Iraq emir of Baghdad. “We’re relentlessly targeting the senior leaders of al-Qaeda in Iraq to cripple their network,” said Maj. Marc Young, an MNF-I spokesperson. “The people of Iraq deserve to live without fear of terrorists’ murderous attacks.” |

| #2 "Robocop" comes to mind too, remember when he shot the hostage holder by bouncing a slug off a polished refrigerator door? |

| #1 Another man was injured by a ricochet bullet from the engagement and was taken to a military medical facility. Just had a brief vision of Jed Clampett sitting on the porch ricochet shooting. |
