BAGHDAD – Coalition forces further debilitated al-Qaeda in Iraq networks during operations Wednesday and Thursday, capturing four wanted men and detaining four additional suspects.
Forces in Mosul targeted AQI’s communication lines Wednesday night. A wanted man believed to be an AQI courier associated with multiple regional leaders was captured along with three suspects during the operation.
Thursday in As Sadiyah, about 111 km northeast of Baghdad, Coalition forces captured a wanted man assessed to be associated with AQI weapons and foreign terrorist facilitation networks in the region. One additional suspect was detained for further questioning.
Two more wanted men were captured by forces operating in Baghdad Thursday. One of the men, believed to be an AQI financier, surrendered himself to Coalition forces and then turned in his associate.
