| Bet it didn't take long after that! |
The high-level rogue JAM terrorist leader has a history of terrorizing the New Baghdad area by extorting money, kidnapping and carrying out extra-judicial killings on innocent citizens, who resisted his criminal influence in their neighborhoods.
As a commander of more than 120 terrorists fighters, his cell is responsible for engaging military and police forces with small arms fire and emplacing explosively formed projectiles along travel routes. The lethal roadside device has been the cause of many Iraqi and Coalition deaths. Intelligence shows a clear link to his group partnering with outside Persian extremists, whose goal is to destroy the legitimate government of Iraq and create instability in the region.
Coalition Forces served as advisors during the operations. No Iraqi or Coalition Forces members were injured during the operation.
