Four terrorists killed, two suspects wounded
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces killed four terrorists, wounded two suspected terrorists and detained nine during operations to disrupt al-Qaeda in Iraq around the country Thursday.
Three armed terrorists engaged Coalition Forces with small arms fire from within a building in eastern al-Anbar province. Coalition Forces exercised proper self-defense measures in response to the perceived threat, killing them.
When Coalition Forces entered the building, they found weapons, a suicide vest, and propane tanks rigged to explode. They evacuated the area and the propane tanks were destroyed on site.
One armed terrorist was killed in his vehicle when he attempted to run a Coalition Forces checkpoint in the area. Two other suspected terrorists were wounded when they attempted to run a Coalition Forces checkpoint. They were taken to a military medical facility for treatment.
An operation targeting a network facilitating foreign fighters netted five suspected terrorists north of Fallujah.
West of Taji, Coalition Forces detained one armed, suspected terrorist, and three suspected terrorists were detained in Baghdad with alleged ties to a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device network in the area.
“These raids are helping Coalition Forces get a clearer picture of the enemy network, and the best ways to capture or eliminate those who threaten the security of Iraq,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson.
