TIKRIT — Iraqi Special Operations Forces, with Coalition advisors, arrested ten suspected terrorist cell members during a combined operation in Diyala province recently, based on warrants issued by the Central Criminal Court of Iraq.
Within two hours time, the 8th Regional Commando Battalion successfully conducted their mission against a violent terrorist cell operating in the Hamrin Dam area, leading to the capture of the suspected terrorist cell leader and nine of his associates.
According to Iraqi intelligence sources, the detained individuals were suspected of conducting numerous acts of murder, kidnapping and roadside bomb attacks against Iraqi Security Forces and innocent civilians.
“The 8th Regional Commando Battalion swiftly infiltrated the residences, arrested the suspects and left the scene,” said the ground forces commander present during the operation. “Their detention will disrupt terrorist operations in the Hamrin Dam area.”
