WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2007 – Coalition forces killed one terrorist and detained 18 others while conducting multiple operations throughout Iraq today, military officials reported.

During a raid in Mosul one terrorist was shot and killed after he began firing at coalition forces.

Meanwhile, in al Anbar province, coalition forces captured six enemy fighters believed to have ties to a weapons and bomb facilitator.

Other raids in Fallujah, Tikrit, North Karmah and near eastern Balad resulted in the detention of 12 suspected terrorists.

Coalition forces also confiscated numerous weapons during the raids.

During one of the operations, documents were found containing information about a coalition forces member stationed at a nearby U.S. military installation.

Saturday, Iraqi police and Multinational division Baghdad troops foiled a car bomb attack as the driver attempted to enter the International Zone.

Sentries spotted the explosives during a check of the vehicle at an entrance to Baghdad’s International Zone, where the seat of the Iraqi government is located in the city’s center.

The driver and passenger of the vehicle were detained while Iraqi police and U.S. soldiers of Company D, 2nd Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, cordoned off the checkpoint.

An explosive ordnance disposal team examined the car bomb, and then performed a controlled detonation at the scene.

Explosive ordnance disposal teams were also used to detonate a roadside bomb Jan. 19 in eastern Baghdad after soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Division’s 3rd Squadron, 61st Cavalry Regiment, discovered an anti-tank mine in the road while on patrol.

Three suspected terrorists seen walking away from the mine site were detained for questioning.

Elsewhere in Iraq on Jan. 19 U.S. soldiers of the 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, 10th Mountain Division, seized a weapons cache along the Euphrates River.

In Kaslu, paratroopers of the 25th Infantry Division's 1st Squadron, 40th Cavalry Regiment, detained two suspected terrorists during a vehicle search.

Northwest of the capital, in the Saba a-Bor region, elements of 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division responded to an explosion where they found a destroyed mosque.

Upon arrival, the unit searched the remains and area surrounding the mosque, reporting no casualties.

The cause of the explosion is currently unknown. The incident is under investigation.

"Suspected Terrorist Killed, 25 Detained During Operations"

Why bother detaining the 25? Why weren't all 26 killed?

[Son House]

Too bad everyone don't get the news when terrorist have losses,

though, thanks for bringing it to us.

[SandRat]

The sad part is all of the broadcast and print media outlets get all the same stories that I put up on FR, sent to them directly by DoD for free. It's just that they decide not to use them. That even includes Fox News.

Are you angry at the Presstitutes yet???

[GSlob]

25 excremists killed and 1 detained would be 24 killed excremists better

[Son House]

all of the broadcast and print media outlets get all the same stories that I put up on FR, sent to them directly by DoD for free. It's just that they decide not to use them.

Really got to wonder what exactly they think their doing, selective news? Angry, yes,

I think it's well time all in the USA get behind the Service Members, as they fulfill their mission, whether they like it or not, it is fighting for freedom, which America should always support.

When the Troops finally do return, the media and the rest are going to be in for a big suprize, 120,000+ Military Personal presenting the truth.

God Bless our Troops. Now, how about getting this war in gear and killing more, detaining less. Oh how I wish we would put some teeth into this and let our troops do what they are trained to do. We allow too many "suspected terrorists" to live to kill another day. And they do. I guess I was hoping for too much in W's "new" approach.

Thanks as always for the news of our troops.

I try my best. At least on FR you get more of the story than you get from the LameStreamMedeia Presstitutes.
