FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RELEASE No. 20070913-01
September 13, 2007

Taji terrorist safe house destroyed, 12 suspected insurgents detained

Multi-National Corps – Iraq PAO

FALLUJAH – Iraqi Army Scouts, with U.S. Special Operations Forces as advisers, conducted an intelligence driven helicopter assault raid Sept. 12 resulting in the detention of 12 suspected insurgents and the destruction of an explosively-rigged structure.

Assault forces conducted a series of raids in the vicinity of Taji and detained ten targeted individuals and two additional persons of interest. While securing one of the objectives, an assault team discovered a command detonation wire leading from an abandoned structure and the area was immediately evacuated.

After ensuring full accountability of all forces and ensuring no civilians were located within the vicinity of the structure, close air support was called in to destroy the target with four laser-guided bombs.

The targeted individuals are purportedly linked to the Lions of Islam Martyr Group and are suspected of improvised explosive device trafficking, facilitating foreign fighters and conducting murder and intimidation campaigns in the region.

No Iraqi or U.S. Forces were injured during the operation.

Per Fox news a tape is expected from Kalid Shak Mohamed. I was under the impression that he was in Jail. Has anyone else heard about this.
