Five suspects detained during operations against al-Qaeda
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces detained five suspected terrorists during operations Saturday targeting al-Qaeda leadership and bombing networks in northern Iraq.
Coalition forces conducted two separate raids in Kirkuk targeting the head of the car-bombing network in the city and a key communications link within the al-Qaeda in Iraq network. The ground forces detained three suspected terrorists in the operations.
In Mosul, Coalition forces detained two suspected terrorists while targeting close associates of al-Qaeda in Iraq senior leaders.
“We’re continuing to put pressure on al-Qaeda’s networks to squeeze them out of their hiding places and into our custody so they cannot attack the Iraqi people,” said Lt. Col. Charles Perenick, MNF-I Combined Press Information Center commander.
