Coalition forces detain eight suspected Special Groups terrorists in two separate operations
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces conducted two separate raids to capture or kill suspected Special Groups operatives in Baghdad before dawn on Saturday.
Coalition forces detained eight suspected Special Groups terrorists during the raids.
Coalition forces conducted two deliberate ground assaults to raid what were believed to be the residences of two high-level Special Groups leaders. The targeted individuals are believed to be leaders of Special Groups responsible for logistical facilitation of Iranian weapons and lethal aid flowing into Iraq. Both targeted individuals are implicated in anti-Coalition forces attacks and the recruitment of extremists to conduct criminal activity. A search of several buildings during the raids produced three AK-47s, a large sum of Iraqi currency, suspicious documents and photographs.
“Continuing a series of synchronized operations against the Special Groups that utilize Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps – Quds Force support to import weapons, explosives and training, Coalition forces conducted a set of sequential raids last night in Baghdad targeting Special Groups operatives,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesman. “Coalition forces continue to target Special Groups terrorists and weapons facilitators who are responsible for directing attacks against innocent Iraqi people, Iraqi Security Forces and Coalition troops.”
