Coalition forces capture suspected Special Groups members

BAGHDAD – Coalition forces killed one terrorist and detained two suspected Iraqi Special Groups members during an operation in northern Baghdad early Thursday.

Credible intelligence led Coalition forces to an individual suspected of weapons facilitation throughout central Iraq. The suspect is believed to have direct communication with senior Special Groups members as well as ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Corps – Quds Force. 
 
During the operation, Coalition forces discovered a suspected terrorist making threatening movements on top of a building. After repeated attempts to direct the man to discontinue his actions, the individual did not comply. Perceiving a hostile threat, the ground force engaged the terrorist, killing him. Two suspected terrorists were detained on site.

“We will continue to target any group with followers who commit hostile actions and oppose security and stability in Iraq,” said Maj. Winfield Danielson, MNF-I spokesman.  “Each time we capture one of these criminals, it brings us one step closer to a secure future for Iraq.”
