FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –  

AIR STRIKE KILLS 3 TERRORISTS IN YUSIFIYYAH 

BAGHDAD, IRAQ – A Coalition Forces air strike killed three terrorists in Yusifiyyah during an operation Monday.

Coalition Forces tracked the terrorists’ movement on a dirt road on the outskirts of Yusifiyya.

Based on intelligence that linked the vehicle and the three terrorists to a local vehicle-borne improvised explosion device facilitation network, Coalition aircraft engaged and destroyed the vehicle with precision fires.

The result of this operation will significantly disrupt the VBIED production in the Baghdad region.

This and other recent operations in the region highlight the deliberate, methodical dismantlement of the al-Qaida in Iraq network and those who contribute to its illegal actions.
