COALITION FORCES KILL FOUR TERRORISTS, DETAIN 15 OTHERS
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces killed four terrorists and detained 15 others during operations targeting foreign fighter facilitator and al-Qaeda in Iraq networks Thursday morning.
In Mosul, ground forces entered a targeted building and were fired upon by four armed men. Ground forces returned fire, killing the armed terrorists. During the raid, ground forces also detained two suspected terrorists. Intelligence reports indicated the targeted individuals were involved in several improvised explosive device attacks on Coalition Forces in the area.
During an operation in Baghdad, Coalition Forces detained nine suspected terrorists allegedly involved in al-Qaeda related foreign fighter facilitation.
A raid of a foreign fighter safe house netted two suspects northwest of Haditha and two others were detained during a raid south of Fallujah targeting al-Qaeda finance operations and foreign fighter facilitation.
“Successful Coalition operations continue to 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.
