Two terrorists killed West of Samarra
BAGHDAD – Coalition forces killed two terrorists in central Iraq Friday, during an operation targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq regional leadership.
Intelligence sources led Coalition forces to the terrorists’ location west of Samarra. As Coalition forces approached, the terrorists attempted to evade capture by driving off a paved road and into a rural area. Coalition forces pursued them and engaged the terrorists’ vehicle to stop it, killing the terrorists and igniting the vehicle. Explosions from weapons and ammunition came from inside the vehicle.
“Al-Qaeda in Iraq is an adaptive, lethal enemy, but they will find no safe haven,” said Maj. Winfield Danielson, MNF-I spokesman. “A tough fight remains ahead, but Iraqi and Coalition forces will continue to target the terrorist networks, capturing or killing their members and improving security for the Iraqi people.”
