MND-B Soldiers detain suspected Special Groups criminal
BAGHDAD Soldiers with Multi-National Division Baghdad detained a suspected Special Groups criminal in Saab al Bour, northwest of Baghdad, Feb. 21.
Soldiers with 2nd Battalion, 14th Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, detained the suspect, who is accused of gathering weapons and storing caches in abandoned houses in Saab al Bour. He is also suspected in an explosively formed penetrator attack Jan. 3.
The suspect is being held for questioning.
The extension of al-Sayyid Muqtada al-Sadrs ceasefire pledge has re-emphasized that those who choose to dishonor the pledge are criminals operating outside the Sadr Trend, said Lt. Col. Neil Harper, MNC-I spokesman. Iraqi and Coalition forces will continue to disrupt the networks of these criminals who target innocent Iraqis, and we will bring them to justice.
