2008-07-27
(VOI) -- U.S. forces detained five wanted men and 15 suspects during operations conducted in different areas of Iraq, according to a U.S. military statement on Saturday. "During a precision operation in Baghdad, Coalition forces captured a wanted man who is reportedly part of a group that builds trigger components for bombs used in AQI attacks," read the U.S. army statement received by Aswat al-Iraq -- Voices of Iraq -- (VOI).

"Another man in Baghdad allegedly tied to terrorist bombing and propaganda operations was captured, along with four additional suspects. The man is suspected of working with terrorist leaders who provide support to AQI."

"South of Baghdad, Coalition forces detained a dozen suspects, including a wanted man, during continued operations against terrorist leaders around the capital. The wanted man is believed to be an AQI leader responsible for providing security for terrorist operations."

"Coalition forces also continued to target AQI leaders in Mosul, capturing a wanted man believed to work directly for terrorist leaders in the city. He also reportedly has knowledge of terrorist hideouts across northern Iraq."

"Southwest of Tikrit, about 160 kilometers north of Baghdad, Coalition forces captured a man who allegedly helps move foreign terrorists through the Tigris River Valley. The man is also suspected of conspiring with a bombing network that operates in Baiji, about 160 kilometers south of Mosul."
