BAGHDAD – Iraqi Special Operations Forces captured six suspects linked to the al-Qaeda network in Radwaniyah, who carried out attacks on local civilians and troops, during an operation conducted May 4. The operation was aimed at disrupting Al-Qaeda operations responsible for vehicle borne IED attacks in Baghdad.
During the raid of several residences in Radwaniyah village nine miles west of central Baghdad, Iraqi SOF detained their primary targets without incident. Seven other suspects who were also present during the operation were also detained.
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 surrounding Radwaniyah and Baghdad areas.
ISOF also destroyed a vehicle believed to contain a VBIED. All civilians were cleared from the area prior to detonation.
No Iraqi or coalition forces were injured during this operation.
