DIWANIJAH – Iraqi Special Operations Forces detained twelve insurgents linked to a rogue Jaysh al-Mahdi militia during two separate intelligence driven operations in Baghdad June 8. These insurgents are allegedly responsible for attacks against Iraqi and Coalition Forces. With Coalition Forces along as advisors, ISOF detained the targeted individuals without incident.
In the first operation, ISOF detained 11 targeted individuals believed responsible for attacks using explosively formed penetrators against Iraqi and Coalition Forces in the Hay al-Aamel area.
In the second operation the ISOF detained the alleged leader of a cell responsible for direct and indirect fire, and improvised explosive devices attacks on Iraqi and Coalition Forces. His capture will disrupt this cell’s ability to carry out death squad activities against innocent civilians.
ISOF seized weapons and ammunition, cell phones and assorted documents during these operations. No Iraqi or coalition forces were injured during this operation.
