BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces killed seven terrorists and detained 13 others while performing raids Wednesday targeting al-Qaeda terrorists and those supporting foreign fighters and vehicle-borne improvised explosive device cells.
Intelligence reports indicated terrorists involved in foreign fighter facilitation and the manufacturing of VBIEDs were operating in Ramadi, Fallujah and Baqubah.
Coalition Forces in an area northwest of Ramadi targeted a building believed to house terrorists involved with foreign fighter activities. Ground forces were immediately confronted by two armed terrorists who refused to surrender. Ground forces killed the two terrorists.
Meanwhile, four more terrorists were attempting to flee the area. Coalition Forces observed they were armed with AK-47s, hand grenades and vests containing magazines. After multiple failed attempts to get the terrorists to surrender, Coalition Forces killed the four terrorists.
Ground forces detained seven suspected terrorists at the site and destroyed the weapons and grenades, preventing further use by terrorists.
Also on the scene were 13 women and 26 children. None of them were harmed during the raid.
During the raid south of Baqubah, three individuals fled the scene as Coalition Forces arrived. One individual was detained without incident; however, another individual lunged at ground forces. Ground forces used proper self-defense measures and killed the terrorist. The third individual crossed the river and escaped. While investigating the scene, Coalition Forces discovered AK-47s, magazines, body armor and a suicide vest. They seized all items to prevent future use by terrorists.
Coalition Forces targeting terrorists involved with a foreign fighter facilitator network in Fallujah detained four suspected terrorists without incident.
"Foreign terrorist facilitators and terrorists involved in the production of IEDs are killing innocent Iraqis daily and are trying to prevent the peace and stability Iraqi citizens deserve. Coalition Forces will continue to successfully disrupt foreign fighter activities around Iraq," said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, an MNF-I spokesperson.
Looking forward to the pat on the back they'll receive on the network news tonight. /s

Oh but Chuck Hagel assured us the vote wouldn't bother them.

Amen.
Chuck Hagel existing bothers them.
YES!!
And there's seven more good terrorists.
You can tell they are just terrorizing the women and children from that picture, just like John F*****g Kerry said.
"...however, another individual lunged at ground forces. Ground forces used proper self-defense measures and killed the terrorist."
LOL! Trying to picture the events unfolding at the time.
Yep John F****** Kerry is greatly saddened by our victories in Iraq and so are all the traitors and defeatists in our midst.
"Drop your weapons" --2 seconds transpire-- ratatatatatataat
Do you mean stab?
"Drop your weapons --2 seconds transpire-- ratatatatatataat"
It should have been ratatatatatataat - drop your weapons!
I gave the "official" version.
I like that.
