BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces killed four terrorists and destroyed two buildings along with nearby cache sites containing improvised explosive device equipment during a raid Friday morning in Thar Thar.
Intelligence reports indicated IEDs were being produced in the targeted buildings. Upon entering the first building, Coalition Forces were engaged by armed terrorists. Coalition Forces returned fire killing four terrorists. While searching the targeted buildings and surrounding area, ground forces found a significant cache consisting a large amount of IED making material to include 16 pounds of homemade explosives, one 60-pound and one 80-pound bomb. Also found on the site were multiple batteries, blasting caps, a rocket-propelled grenade,100 feet of detonation cord, suicide vests, grenades and machine guns. Coalition Forces coordinated an air strike that destroyed the buildings containing the weapons cache.
No civilians were injured during this operation.
Coalition Forces continue to dismantle the AQIZ terrorist network inside Iraq. The capture of these terrorists and the destruction of these buildings 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.
When can we expect them to run from, er, I mean, with, this story?
Air strike first would have been better...12 terrorists killed, massive secondary explosions.
Good news for the American military is bad news for the MSM. That's why they won't report this.
Good interview story here regarding Marine Lt. Gen Mattis and his opinion that the media is welcome, invited and encouraged to report on the ground in Iraq, however the reporters are (my words scared sht-less to to go there). So, the stories that are printed now are done by a bunch of Muslim stringers working for MSM and we get nothing but news of gloom and doom.
Mattis on the Marines: Pendleton commander upbeat about morale, progress in Iraq
