Multi-National Corps – Iraq PAO

BALAD, Iraq – Iraqi Special Operations Forces captured an alleged mid-level Special Groups criminal cell leader in Baghdad, June 12.

The ISOF conducted an operation to capture the reported leader of 250 criminal members suspected of improvised explosive device attacks against Iraqi and Coalition forces. They are also accused of kidnapping and killing 19 Iraqi citizens, including three individuals who worked on a U.S. base.

During the operation, ISOF also found and detained a man wanted on a Ministry of Justice warrant.

“The detention of this cell leader will likely affect the ability of Special Groups criminals in Baghdad to conduct attacks against the local citizens and Iraqi and Coalition forces,” said Lt. Col. Neil Harper, a spokesman for Multi-National Corps – Iraq.
