Iraqi Security Forces, U.S. Special Forces capture high-level terrorist in Mosul
Iraqi Security Forces, with U.S. Special Forces as advisers, detained a high-level terrorist during an intelligence-driven operation in Mosul on Aug. 20.
Intelligence indicates the targeted individual is believed to be in charge of security for Mosul-based ISI, an organization established as a front for al-Qaeda in Iraq and uses kidnapping and executions to enforce his security actions. He also reportedly interrogates kidnapping victims for extortion, information collection and executes them. One other suspicious individual was also detained during the operation. The forces also seized a variety of military equipment and documents at the targeted residence. No Iraqi or U.S. Special Forces coalition forces were injured during this raid.
