TERRORIST LEADER, NETWORK MEMBERS CAPTURED
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces detained 14 suspected terrorists in raids Monday morning targeting the al-Qaeda in Iraq senior leader networks in Mosul and Karmah.
Based on information gained from a previous successful operation in Anbar province, Coalition Forces captured a suspected senior terrorist leader in Mosul connected to the al-Qaeda in Iraq network. The individual is also suspected of making decisions on enforcing religious punishments and operating a smuggling ring transporting weapons and cargo.
Coalition Forces detained 12 suspected terrorists tied to the al-Qaeda in Iraq senior leader network in Karmah. One individual is allegedly a close contact of several high-level terrorist leaders.
“Al-Qaeda in Iraq and its terrorist networks continue to lose ground with every operation we conduct,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson. “Terrorists have no place in the future of Iraq.”
