Coalition forces target al-Qaeda propaganda cell; seven detained

BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces detained seven suspects Friday during operations targeting al-Qaeda networks southeast of Samarra.

In three coordinated operations, Coalition forces targeted al-Qaeda in Iraq's media network southeast of Samarra. One of the targeted buildings is believed to be used as a propaganda production facility and meeting location for senior leaders. Coalition forces detained seven suspects during the operations without incident.

"These operations are another step on the road to a peaceful Iraq, where innocent civilians can live without fear of terrorist attacks," said Maj. Winfield Danielson, MNF-I spokesman. "Defeating al Qaeda's propaganda networks undermines their fundraising and recruiting."
