BAGHDAD – Iraqi Special Operations Forces detained four suspected terrorists, for attacks against Iraqi Security and Coalition forces, during separate operations in Baghdad and Mosul May 14.
In Baghdad, ISOF detained two individuals including a cell leader for Islamic State of Iraq, a front organization for al-Qaeda in Iraq. The men are suspected of conducting indirect fire attacks against Victory Base Complex and improvised explosive device attacks against Baghdad International Airport and Sons of Iraq.
In Mosul, ISOF conducted operations that led to the detaining of two suspected IED cell members who are reportedly responsible for IED attacks against the Iraqi Army and sectarian violence.
“The detention of these suspected terrorists is expected to disrupt terrorist operations in Baghdad and Mosul and provide additional intelligence on terrorist activities in the area,” said Col. Bill Buckner, MNC-I spokesman. “The Iraqi Security Forces and Coalition forces strive to provide a stable, secure environment for the citizens of Iraq.”
