17 suspected terrorist operatives, bombers detained in Coalition raids
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces detained 17 suspected terrorists during raids in central and northern Iraq Tuesday targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq operatives and terrorist bombing cells.
Coalition Forces captured an alleged al-Qaeda in Iraq cell member believed to be a link between terrorist operations in the Northern and Southern Belts. During the raid, the ground forces detained three more suspected terrorists for their alleged involvement with al-Qaeda in Iraq.
In Mosul, Coalition Forces captured a targeted individual suspected of having ties to a senior leader in al-Qaeda in Iraq. The raid also netted two additional suspects who are allegedly tied to the terrorist group. During a raid west of Taji, Coalition Forces detained three suspected terrorists allegedly tied to a senior al-Qaeda in Iraq leader who procures and distributes weapons for terrorist activity.
In a raid on three separate buildings south of Baghdad, Coalition Forces detained five suspected terrorists allegedly tied to the Baghdad vehicle-borne improvised explosive device network. In southern Baghdad, Coalition Forces raided three buildings targeting a suspected member of the Baghdad VBIED network and detained two suspected terrorists for their alleged involvement in a bombing cell.
“We are relentlessly pursuing the terrorists who carry out murderous attacks against the people of Iraq,” said Maj. Marc Young, an MNF-I spokesperson.
More news not fit for our Lame Stream Media ping!!
Thanks for the ping!
Too many detentions, not enough deaths.
The Iraqi Gov. is doing the best they can with their prosecution of those who are captured and charged with criminal acts. Many are given very long prison sentences, while quite a few are sentenced to death (a penalty which does not take nearly as long to carry out in Iraq as it does in the U.S.).
More good news..BUMP!
BTTT
Bump!
