Coalition operations target AQI leadership

BAGHDAD – Coalition forces captured four wanted men and 17 additional suspects during operations Friday targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq leaders in Baghdad and Mosul.

Fifteen suspected terrorists, including two wanted men, are in Coalition custody after an operation in a village southwest of Mosul. One man is reportedly a liaison between AQI leaders in Mosul and the foreign terrorist network in northwest Iraq. The other wanted man is allegedly a leader in that foreign terrorist network and is suspected of moving suicide bombers into Iraq for attacks.

Coalition forces captured an alleged close associate of a senior AQI leader in Mosul who oversees the terrorist network’s finances. Three additional suspects were detained.

In Baghdad, Coalition forces captured an alleged associate of a senior AQI leader in the area, as well as one additional suspected terrorist.
