FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EARLY MORNING RAIDS CONDUCTED IN BAGHDAD
BAGHDAD, Iraq –- Task Force Baghdad Soldiers captured 15 terror suspects in three early-morning raids conducted throughout the capital May 28.
The biggest operation netted 10 suspected terrorists in the Yusafiyah district of south Baghdad.
In east Baghdad, a tip from an Iraqi citizen prevented an attack. During a routine patrol, members of Task Force Baghdad’s 3rd Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, were approached by a farmer with information on the location of roadside bomb.
The farmer told the Soldiers he had seen terrorists emplace the bomb. The Soldiers expressed their appreciation to the farmer and secured the roadside bomb.
"This event shows that the population continues to turn away from the terrorists. I am grateful that the people care enough to provide us the tips that are helping us to defeat the terrorists. There is no question in my mind that the farmer who provided the tip today saved the lives of our Soldiers,” said Maj. Paul Reese, executive officer 3-7 Cavalry.

"Overview - Mullahs' Terrorism"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Terrorism has been one of the primary tools of the mullahs' regime to spread fundamentalism and expand Iran's influence.
Most of the images that have come to symbolize terrorism over the past decade are tied closely to the Tehran regime's mercenaries: The 1986 bombings in Paris, the corpse of an "executed" passenger thrown from a hijacked Kuwaiti plane in Cyprus, the grim video-taped faces of hostages appealing to their governments, and huge buildings turned into rubbles after being exploded by suicide or truck bombs.
Although not new to the past two decade, terrorism has acquired qualitatively different dimensions since Khomeini and his Islamic fundamentalist government came to power in 1979. Indeed, today, Khomeini and his heirs can be considered the godfathers of terrorism."
