Two wanted men captured in northern Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces captured two wanted men and detained two additional suspects while targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq operatives in northern Iraq Wednesday.
Continuing to use information gleaned from an operation Apr. 21, Coalition forces captured two suspected AQI terrorists in Mosul. One of the suspects is a wanted man who is believed to directly conspire with several senior terrorist leaders in the city, including one who is known to conduct attacks against Coalition and Iraqi Security forces.
Iraqi and Coalition forces captured an alleged AQI operative in Kirkuk and one additional suspected terrorist. The alleged operative is believed to have ties to senior terrorist leaders in both Kirkuk and Mosul.
“Today’s intelligence-driven operations in northern Iraq are part of ongoing efforts to disrupt and degrade al-Qaeda in Iraq’s networks. Working with Iraqi Security Forces, Coalition forces will continue to target this foreign-led terrorist organization and hamper its ability to inflict indiscriminate violence against the people of Iraq,” said Cmdr. Scott Rye, MNF-I spokesperson.
