BAGHDAD Iraqi Security Forces and Multi-National Division Baghdad Soldiers arrested a suspected terrorist in connection with an explosion Dec. 26 in the Masafee community of Baghdads Rashid district.
At approximately 4:30 p.m., Iraqi National Police of the 2nd Bn., 7th Bde., 2nd NP Div., with Soldiers of Company B, 2nd Battalion, 4th Infantry Regiment, attached to the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, MND-B, investigated an explosion in an Iraqi neighborhood.
Upon arriving at the damaged house, the combined forces found the bomb-maker killed while mixing homemade explosives which prematurely detonated.
The NP then detained another suspected bomb-maker on site.
Capturing known criminals and getting them off the streets demonstrates the capabilities of the Iraqi Security Forces and the Coalition forces to provide a safe and secure environment, said Maj. Dave Olson, 1st BCT Spokesman, 4th Inf. Div., MND-B. The ISF are stepping up their efforts of securing their country and providing security for the people of Iraq as Coalition forces continue to teach, coach and mentor them.
Dang, those industrial accidents are murder!
Let’s hope Obambi doesn’t order OSHA to investigate and take steps to mitigate them.
