Weapons cache destroyed, four suspects detained

BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces detained four suspected terrorists and destroyed a weapons cache Tuesday morning during operations targeting foreign fighter facilitation and al-Qaeda in Iraq networks.

During an operation in Mosul, Coalition Forces captured two suspected terrorists with alleged ties to al-Qaeda in Iraq.  The two suspects were in the process of accessing a weapons cache consisting of mortar tubes, rocket propelled grenades, anti-aircraft rounds and several thousand rounds of small arms ammunition.  The cache was destroyed on site to prevent future use by terrorists.

One suspect reportedly involved with al-Qaeda was detained in Tarmiyah and one suspect was captured in Fallujah with alleged involvement in a foreign fighter facilitation network.
