| Coalition Forces detained nine suspected terrorists during operations targeting al-Qaeda in central and northern Iraq Monday and Tuesday. Coalition Forces captured a suspected terrorist believed to be a driver for the al-Qaeda in Iraq emir of Mosul. Based on information from that operation, Coalition Forces raided a building in Mosul Tuesday targeting the alleged emir’s associates. The ground forces detained two suspects allegedly tied to the terrorist leader. West of Baghdad Tuesday, Coalition Forces captured a suspected al-Qaeda in Iraq emir, believed to control 20-30 terrorist operatives. His terrorist cell is allegedly responsible for rocket and improvised explosive device attacks against Iraqi and Coalition Forces. Coalition Forces targeted an associate of the al-Qaeda in Iraq emir of Baghdad during a raid in Tarmiyah Tuesday. The ground forces detained three suspected terrorists. Southwest of Taji, Coalition Forces detained two suspected terrorists while targeting an individual suspected of facilitating the movement of foreign terrorists in eastern Anbar province. “These terrorists cannot hide – we will seek them out,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson. “The people of Iraq deserve the ability to choose their own future, free of brutal terrorist attacks.” |
