BALAD, Iraq – Iraqi Security Forces, advised by U.S. Special Forces, detained two terror suspects and killed three terrorists in separate operations Feb. 1.
In the village of Mashraf, Iraqi and U.S. Forces detained two members of an al-Qaeda in Iraq cell who are believed to be responsible for multiple improvised explosive device and small-arms fire attacks against Iraqi and Coalition Forces.
According to intelligence reports, the two suspects are directly responsible for a January 2008 attack on an Iraqi Police checkpoint that killed two Iraqi Soldiers and an Iraqi Police officer.
Near the city of Tal Afar, an Iraqi Special Weapons and Tactics Team, together with U.S. Special Forces, conducted an operation to detain two suspected terrorist cell leaders.
During the course of the operation, the assault force came under small-arms fire. The assault force returned fire, killing three terrorists. One Coalition Force team member received minor injuries when a grenade thrown by one of the terrorists exploded near his position.
