SEVEN SUSPECTED FOREIGN FIGHTER FACILITATORS, TWO OTHERS DETAINED IN RAIDS
BAGHDAD, Iraq –Coalition forces captured nine suspected terrorists Wednesday during operations targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq and foreign fighter facilitators.
During operations north of Mosul, Coalition forces raided two known foreign fighter safe houses and captured four suspects with ties to foreign fighter facilitation and the movement of weapons into Iraq.
In Habbaniyah, Coalition forces detained three more suspected foreign fighter facilitators.
Two suspected terrorists were captured southwest of Karmah with alleged ties to al-Qaeda in Iraq.
“Foreign fighters and the facilitators that bring them in are a detriment to the stability of a peaceful Iraq,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, a spokesperson for Multi-National Force – Iraq. “Coalition forces will continue to target them and the networks that illegally bring them in to Iraq.”
