13 SUSPECTED TERRORISTS DETAINED

 BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces detained 13 suspected terrorists Sunday during raids targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq, a foreign fighter facilitation network and improvised explosive device networks.

Coalition Forces detained four individuals northeast of Karmah for their suspected involvement facilitating the movement of foreign fighters into Iraq.

Four more suspected terrorists with alleged ties to the al-Qaeda in Iraq network were detained in the town of Hit, and Coalition Forces detained one suspected terrorist in Ramadi, allegedly associated with the al-Qaeda network.

Intelligence reports led Coalition Forces to a suspected weapons dealer in Baghdad, where they detained three suspected terrorists believed to transport weapons and facilitate foreign fighters.

Coalition Forces targeted the Baghdad vehicle-borne improvised explosive device network, and detained one suspected terrorist in a raid in the city.

“We’re targeting organizations that equip terrorists and execute attacks that kill and injure innocent Iraqis,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson.  “We continue to steadily and systematically dismantle their networks.”
