BAGHDAD – Multi-National Division – Baghdad Soldiers detained a key suspect in the New Baghdad district of eastern Baghdad July 10.

Soldiers from the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (Light) detained the suspected criminal while conducting operations specifically targeting him in the Oubaidy area of New Baghdad. The suspect is believed to be a criminal leader with ties to indirect fire and other attacks in eastern Baghdad this year.

“Taking an individual like this off the streets of Baghdad is an important stepping stone toward the continued establishment of security for the people of Iraq,” said Maj. Joey Sullinger, a spokesperson for 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (Light). “Taking out these threats to Iraqi stability strengthens Iraq now and for future generations.”
