BALAD — Coalition Forces killed a terrorist Sunday morning during a successful raid near al-Yusifiyah, and discovered a large weapons and explosives cache in a separate raid near Bayji, in which Coalition Forces detained 15 suspected terrorists.

The early morning raid near al-Yusifah targeted an individual associated with a suspected senior leader of an al-Qaida inIraq network known for links with foreign terrorists and Improvised Explosive Device attacks in the area. Coalition Forcesassaulted the building and killed the armed terrorist as he was attempting to flee.

At the raid near Bayji, Coalition Forces discovered multiple caches of explosives and weapons which included machineguns, rocket propelled grenades, hand grenades, a significant amount of artillery and mortar rounds and an IED ready for emplacement

An explosive ordnance team was called out to safely detonate the IED and dispose of the weapons caches.

Several women and children were present at the targeted areas and were left unharmed. Coalition Forces take precautions to mitigate risks to civilians while in pursuit of terrorists.

No Coalition Force members were injured during the two raids.

The raids were a culmination of intelligence taken from previous raids, as Coalition Forces make progress dismantlingterrorist networks inside Iraq.

The capture of these detainees and destruction of their weapons reduces the ability of the terrorist network to operate, and increases the safety of all Iraqi citizens, Iraqi forces and Iraq’s Multi-National partners.

Wait, let me turn on the MSM news so I can get more details about this story...

Hmmm, there's nothing. I can't figure out why.

Meanwhile the Clown Car Media remains staked out to obsessively report every US death in Iraq and to scream it from the headlines.
