17 SUSPECTED TERRORISTS DETAINED IN IRAQ
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces captured 17 suspected terrorists during a series of overnight raids targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq Saturday.
Coalition Forces detained six suspected terrorists northwest of Karmah. Intelligence reports indicate they are connected to a group responsible for murders, kidnappings, the manufacture of improvised explosive devices and attacking Coalition Forces.
Two suspected terrorists were detained southeast of al Asad, including one individual who is allegedly an intelligence officer for al-Qaeda in Iraq.
Coalition Forces detained two individuals with suspected ties to al-Qaeda in Iraq and the bombing of the Sarafiyah bridge in Baghdad.
In Mosul, four suspected terrorists are in Coalition Forces custody for allegedly distributing arms for al-Qaeda in Iraq and operating a network using vehicle-borne IEDs.
Coalition Forces also detained three individuals in an overnight raid east of Balad.
“We’re achieving a deliberate, systematic disruption in the al Qaeda in Iraq network,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson. “These operations will slow al-Qaeda’s ability to target and harm the people of Iraq.”
