FIVE-DAY OPERATION RESULTS IN ONE TERRORIST KILLED, 13 SUSPECTS DETAINED; WEAPONS CACHES DESTROYED

BAGHDAD, Iraq – During a recent five-day operation in Arab Jabour which wrapped up Tuesday morning, Coalition Forces killed one terrorist, detained 13 others and destroyed several weapons caches.

Included in the weapons caches found, Coalition Forces discovered numerous rocket-propelled grenades and launchers, several improvised explosive devices, thousands of anti-aircraft ammunition rounds and three buildings containing large amounts of IED-making materials.  The weapons caches were destroyed on site to prevent future use by terrorists.

No civilians were injured during the five-day operation.

 “Coalition Forces continue to take apart the al-Qaeda network inside Iraq.  This operation is a concerted effort to reduce this VBIED terrorist network’s ability to operate,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson.
