BAGHDAD,Iraq–Coalition Forces killed eight terrorists and detained six suspects during operations Wednesday morning targeting foreign fighter facilitators and the al-Qaeda in Iraq network.
Intelligence reports indicated terrorists associated with small arms and rocket attacks against Coalition Forces were operating northeast of Taji.
As Coalition Forces approached the targeted area, they noticed several armed men maneuvering toward them in a nearby palm grove. Coalition Forces called in close air support to eliminate the threat. Rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft used precision fires killing eight armed terrorists. Two suspected terrorists were detained.
Coalition Forces also captured two suspected terrorists in Amiriyah and two more in Baghdad with alleged ties to the al-Qaeda in Iraq network.
“Coalition Forces continue methodical, deliberate efforts to eliminate terrorism in Iraq,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson.

How come when they're dead, they're terrorists and when they're captured, they're suspects.

Anyone else notice that they are using airstrikes with much greater frequency.

I imagine it has something to do with having a weapon pointed at our troops.
Suspects may finance,provide haven,etc.
As far as I'm concerned it's a "A rose by any other name".
