Coalition forces apprehend five Kata’ib Hezbollah suspects

BAGHDAD – Coalition forces dealt another blow to the Kata’ib Hezbollah network as they captured an alleged weapons smuggler early Tuesday in Kut, about 150 km southeast of Baghdad.

Acting on intelligence information, Coalition forces targeted a suspected key member of the Kata’ib Hezbollah network assessed to be responsible for Iranian-supplied Explosive Formed Penetrators used against Iraqi and Coalition forces.

Coalition forces approached the targeted individual’s location where he identified himself as the wanted suspect. He and four associates were detained without incident. In addition, Coalition forces discovered numerous passports, and several weapons.

Kata’ib Hezbollah is assessed to be a proxy of Iran and its members are believed to be responsible for recent attacks against Iraqi citizens and Iraqi and Coalition bases.

BAGHDAD – Soldiers attached to the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (Light), Multi-National Division – Baghdad, captured a suspected Special Groups criminal in the New Baghdad security district of eastern Baghdad, Oct. 6.

Soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 66th Armored Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, detained the individual who is suspected of attacks on Iraqi Security Forces and Coalition Forces.

“Counter insurgency missions such as this help protect the people and defeat extremists in eastern Baghdad,” said Maj.
