BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.S. and Iraqi troops detained more than a dozen people they suspect made roadside bombs and destroyed a bomb-making facility in a series of raids, the U.S. military said Sunday.
The operations took place last week but were reported Sunday by the military.
Iraqi troops backed by U.S. forces searched 33 homes and detained 82 people Tuesday near Youssifiyah, 12 miles south of Baghdad, the military said in a statement. Sixty-nine of those captured were released after questioning. The 13 who remain in custody were accused of planting roadside bombs, the statement said.
Two more suspects were detained Thursday in a joint U.S.-Iraqi mission near Mahmoudiyah, 20 miles south of the Iraqi capital, another statement said. That mission also targeted people involved in bomb-making.
On Friday, U.S. forces destroyed a weapons cache used for assembling improvised explosive devices in western Baghdad, the military said. About 200 pounds of explosives were dispersed between two houses near a mosque in Ghazaliyah, along with timers, passports, detonation cords and several physics and engineering books, a statement said.

Here's to a continuing of a tightening of the noose around these scoundrels.
This is more proof that if sufficiently motivated , the Iraqis can and will get the job done..
Kudos to our troops on the ground and in the air and prayers for their safety.
sad day for Madam Pelosi

Our troops sooooo rock! Thank you guys and gals for what you're doing over there!
Your say this is the 10th Mountain? Coool. That'll include my son. He's not sharing much on what they are doing.
Good for him. Hard for you, but good Operational Security practice.
Oh, yes, I completely understand and agree that he's doing the right thing. But when I get news of what the 10th has been doing through sources like this it helps me to know that they are making good progress.
Follow the C-Q-K option, Capture the enemy, Question those enemy operatives captured, Kill all enemy combatants confronted.
