Coalition forces target suspected Special Group financier
BAGHDAD – Coalition forces captured five suspected Special Groups criminals during operations early Friday morning in the Adhamiyah section of Baghdad.
Based on intelligence information, Coalition forces targeted the location of a suspected financier of Iranian-sponsored Special Groups operations. According to previously captured Special Groups criminals, he is the paying agent for operations revolving around the criminals’ propaganda activities. These propaganda activities are aimed at collecting payments for attacks on Coalition and Iraqi forces, as well as trying to win support for their crimes.
Coalition forces approached the targeted individual’s location about three kilometers northwest of Sadr City, where they captured three suspected Special Groups criminals. Forces moved to another location in the same neighborhood where they captured an additional two suspected outlaws without incident.
