TAJI, Iraq – Task Force Baghdad Soldiers found bomb-making materials and mortar aiming stakes in a house they searched northwest of Baghdad on Sept. 8.
The Soldiers from the Rhode Island National Guard’s D Company, 3rd Battalion, 172nd Infantry Regiment, detained three male suspects at the house and confiscated terrorist propaganda, two expended rocket casings, two timers and the aiming stakes.
"We did a three-patrol raid on a suspected Anti-Iraqi Forces meeting location and it was a complete success," said Capt. William H. Tuttle IV, D Company commander from Warwick, R.I. "Speed and surprise were our best attributes."
Tuttle said the building was secured in just a few minutes and all his men worked together well to get the mission accomplished.
D Co. performs similar missions on a daily basis in their area of operations, Tuttle said, adding that his men are becoming very proficient at achieving their objectives.
"I'm very proud of my Soldiers and the work they do. They put themselves in harm's way every time they go outside the wire," he said. "Their competence on battle drills is tied in with their confidence, and allows them to be successful to during multi-faceted operations."

GREAT JOB!!!
This is good news indeed. Three down, at least 100,000 to go. But it is progress, and every little bit counts.

How nice that they are nabbing terrorists. And not wasting their time and effort nabbing "gunmen" or "insurgents" or "rebels" or ...
Thanks for the ping!
