MNF ASSIST IN RESTORING ORDER TO AL HAYY
CAMP DELTA, Iraq -- Task Force Tomahawk deployed Aug. 17 from Camp Delta in Al Kut to Al Hayy at the request of the governor of Al Kut Province to restore civil order to the city of Al Hayy.
Multi-National Force patrols encountered AIF resistance during their patrols in Al Hayy.
During one incident, a bus inadvertently entered into the crossfire causing several passengers to be hit by small arms fire. Four passengers were killed and four were injured.
MNF medics attended to the injured and assisted their evacuation to a local clinic. The MNF regrets any injuries or loss of life caused in this incident. This unfortunate event occurred as a result of AIF resistance in holding the people of Al Hayy hostage with their violence. Multinational force medics attended to the injured and assisted their evacuation to a local clinic.
The Iraqi Police Service and Iraqi National Guard are replacing the MNF and will restore order to the city. Provincial and local government officials continue in their efforts to rid the area of criminal elements seeking to disrupt Iraq's progress in establishing a nation of democratic rule. Criminal elements seeking to deprive Iraqis of their right to self-governance are being defeated.
