April 24, 2008
Iraqi Army Forces kill nine criminals, destroy two vehicles in Hussaniyah
BAGHDAD – An Iraqi Army patrol, accompanied by U.S. Special Forces advisors, defeated elements of an armed criminal group that launched an unprovoked attack on Iraqi and U.S. forces conducting a patrol in Hussaniyah, a city north of Baghdad, April 22.
Approximately 45 minutes into the mission, gunmen attacked the patrol using small arms weapons and rocket-propelled grenade launchers. Iraqi Army and U.S. Special Forces dismounted from their vehicles and returned fire, killing four of the gunmen.
Additional criminals continued their attacks, using pre-positioned improvised explosive devices, RPGs and small arms weapons to target the Iraqi and U.S. patrol. Despite the threats, Iraqi Army forces continued to engage the enemy, killing five more fighters and destroying two vehicles the gunmen used to launch their attacks.
No Iraqi or U.S. military personnel were injured during the patrol.
