BAGHDAD – Iraqi Special Operations Forces conducted an early morning operation in Baghdad May 1, capturing five suspects believed to be involved in building vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices and carrying out death squad murders.
With Coalition advisers present, Iraqi SOF raided several residences in the neighborhood of Aamel in southwest Baghdad. Small arms fire was exchanged and the primary suspects were detained.
Iraqi forces also detained six other suspicious individuals who were present at the target location during the operation. Five sniper rifles, ammunition and electronic communication devices were also seized.
The primary targets of this operation are alleged to be involved in an insurgent network that is responsible for conducting attacks against local civilians, Iraqi security forces and Coalition Forces in the Baghdad area.
No Iraqi or Coalition Forces were injured during this operation.
