| I think this means a terrorist was trying to infiltrate the police during a recruitment drive (a very successful drive) and was fingered by the locals, and ID confirmed by biometrics. Very encouraging. BAGHDAD – Multi-National Division – Baghdad Soldiers captured a suspected al-Qaeda leader during an Iraqi Police recruitment drive in Baghdad’s Doura neighborhood Nov. 6. Citizens pointed out the suspected extremist, who was detained by scouts of Troop C, 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division. The man allegedly was using a false name at the time. During the recruitment, which took place in a neighborhood once feared as the most dangerous in Baghdad, more than 500 Iraqis lined up to join the police force. The citizens went through a biometric check to ensure no suspected criminals were allowed to join. The suspect is being held for further questioning. |
