Iraqi Police Forces capture rogue extremist leader in Babil Province
Multi-National Corps – Iraq PAO

BABIL – Iraqi Police Forces detained the alleged brigade commander of a rogue Jaysh al-Mahdi (JAM) militia in Mahawil, a town about 50 miles south of Baghdad during an intelligence driven operation July 1. He is directly responsible for directing attacks using explosively-formed projectiles and improvised explosive devices on the Iraqi Police, the Iraqi Army, and Coalition Forces. One such EFP attack is directly responsible for the deaths of five U.S. soldiers.

He is also reportedly the JAM Special Groups Leader in Mahawil and Al Imam. During the operation, Iraqi Police detained their primary suspect without incident. Iraqi Police also detained three other individuals found on the targeted residence and confiscated cell phones, passports, computer hard drives, and other miscellaneous documents and booklets.

Coalition Forces were present as advisors. No Iraqi or Coalition Forces were injured during the operation.
