Coalition forces target al-Qaeda networks in Diyala, 12 suspects detained

BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces detained 12 suspected terrorists today during operations targeting al-Qaeda networks in the Diyala River Valley region and northern Iraq.

Coalition forces conducted a series of coordinated operations north of Muqdadiyah targeting alleged associates of the network operating in the northeast Diyala River Valley region. One of the targeted individuals is believed to be involved in terrorist media and propaganda operations and a direct associate of senior leadership in the network.

During one of the operations, the ground force detained five suspected terrorists and found a cache of weapons and explosive materials. Local citizens informed Coalition forces that one of the buildings was believed to be rigged with explosives. Once the target area was secure, the ground force called for supporting aircraft to engage the perceived threat, destroying two buildings and the weapons cache to prevent further use by terrorists. Secondary explosions erupted following the strike, indicating that weapons were inside the building. Nearby, the ground force located and safely destroyed another building reportedly used for terrorist operations.

Northeast of the city, Coalition forces captured two wanted individuals believed to be involved in the terrorist networks operating in the Hamrin Mountains and the Diyala River Valley region. Reports indicate the area is an al-Qaeda operations area used for training and facilitation activities. In addition to the wanted individuals, the ground force detained two suspected terrorists on site.

During other operations near Samarra and Mosul, Coalition forces detained three suspected terrorists while targeting associates of al-Qaeda networks responsible for attacks against Iraqi and Coalition forces.

“Our tireless efforts to remove al-Qaeda from Iraq reach into every corner of the country,” said Maj. Winfield Danielson, an MNF-I spokesman. “There is no safe haven for terrorists in Iraq.”
