Iraqi, Polish Forces, U.S. Special Forces detain extremist cell leader in Diwaniyah
2007-08-26
Iraqi Army Scouts and Polish forces, with U.S. Special Forces as advisers, detained two suspected extremist militant cell members in the town of Al Budayr Aug. 22. The targeted terrorist, from the Al-Askari district of Diwaniyah, is allegedly responsible for producing explosively formed penetrators and executing improvised explosive devices attacks against Iraqi and Coalition Forces in the area. Further intelligence indicated that in February 2007 he used a local high school as a screen to launch Katyusha rockets at a Coalition base and is connected to another criminal cell that attacks local citizens who oppose the ShiÂ’a extremistsÂ’ illegal activities.

#5  I'm glad to see the Poles getting some combat experience, and learning to work with the Iraqis and US Special Forces. That may come in handy some time in the near future...
