Suspected Secret Cell Terrorists Detained by Coalition Forces

BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces detained three suspected secret cell terrorists before dawn on Sunday in North Adamiya near Sadr City.  It is believed that the suspected terrorists have close ties to Iranian terror networks.

No shots were fired when Coalition Forces conducted a precision raid to capture or kill terrorists suspected of facilitating the flow of lethal aid into Iraq. Intelligence reports indicate that the suspected terrorists targeted during the raid are associated with key leaders in the secret cell terrorist network and have ties to Iran.  It is also believed that the suspected terrorists are responsible for numerous attacks on Iraqi civilians as well as Iraqi and Coalition Forces in Baghdad.  The individuals are also suspected of recruiting Iraqis to fill the ranks of Iranian terror groups operating in Iraq.

“Secret cell networks continue to flow explosives, weapons, and aid to extremists in Iraq,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson. “Our continued dismantling of the secret cell networks demonstrates our resolve to go after all groups that use violence to attempt to impose their will on the Iraqi people.”
