Three terrorists killed, including would-be suicide bomber

BAGHDAD – Coalition forces killed three terrorists, including a would-be suicide bomber, while targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq operatives in central and northern Iraq Thursday.

Four suspected terrorists were also detained during the course of operations.

East of Mahmudiyah, Coalition forces on Thursday targeted an individual allegedly planning to carry out a suicide bombing attack in conjunction with the Baghdad car-bombing network. During the operation, three men in a vehicle attempted to elude the assault force, and Coalition forces engaged to stop the vehicle. All three men in the vehicle were killed, including the alleged suicide bomber.

While targeting a bombing coordinator in Mosul, Coalition forces detained one suspected terrorist.

Coalition forces conducted a precision operation in northwest Sinjar, capturing a suspected foreign terrorist facilitator with alleged ties to al-Qaeda in Iraq – or AQI – senior leaders. As the ground force approached, the wanted individual shot himself in the leg while drawing his weapon to engage Coalition forces. He was treated on scene and transported to a military medical facility. In a similar raid, the ground force captured another alleged associate of AQI senior leaders, as well as an additional suspect west of Baghdad.

“While Iraqi and Coalition forces are taking apart al-Qaeda in Iraq networks, capturing or killing their members, al-Qaeda remains the biggest threat to security and stability in Iraq, and there is still much work to be done,” said Maj. Winfield Danielson, MNF-I spokesman.
