 Coalition Forces prepare to enter a suspected terrorist kidnapping safe house during an operation in Iraq.
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces killed one terrorist and detained 27 suspected terrorists during operations Friday night and Saturday morning targeting foreign fighter facilitator and al-Qaeda in Iraq networks.
Operations in the vicinity of Taji on Saturday led to one terrorist killed and 18 suspected terrorists detained including an alleged member of the al-Qaeda associated Islamic State of Iraq. The terrorist was killed after he began firing on ground forces.
During a raid Friday night in Mosul, Coalition Forces detained three suspected terrorists believed to be involved in foreign fighter facilitation and possible involvement in the recent Badush prison break.
Coalition Forces also conducted several raids Saturday morning in Mosul. One raid targeted terrorists believed to be involved in the distribution of weapons used during an attack on an Iraqi police station in January. Three suspected terrorists were detained in this raid. Another raid led to the detention of two suspected terrorists, one of whom is believed to have direct involvement in the facilitation of foreign fighters into Iraq.
Coalition Forces also conducted a raid in Ramadi Saturday morning, detaining one suspected terrorist with alleged foreign fighter ties.
“Coalition Forces continue to systematically disrupt al-Qaeda in Iraq operations, restrict the flow of foreign fighters and reduce the terrorist organization’s manpower pool," said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson.
