14 SUSPECTED TERRORISTS CAPTURED IN RAIDS
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces captured 14 suspected terrorists during operations Monday targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq foreign fighter facilitators and members of vehicle-borne improvised explosive device cells.
While conducting a raid targeting foreign fighter facilitators northwest of Bayji, Coalition Forces detained five suspected terrorists.
During two operations in Tarmiyah, Coalition Forces captured seven suspected terrorists with alleged ties to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq.
Northwest of Karmah, two suspected terrorists were detained with links to a VBIED cell. According to intelligence reports, this cell is allegedly responsible for planning attacks against Iraqi police and Coalition Forces.
“Coalition Forces continue systematic operations to hunt down terrorists no matter where they may hide,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson.
