Iraqi Special Operations Forces, U.S. Special Forces detain 7 Shi'a extremists
Iraqi Special Operations Forces, with U.S. Special Forces as advisers, detained seven suspected Shia insurgents during an early-morning operation Sept. 20 in Sadr City. Iraqi and U.S. Forces were en route to detain a high-level Shia extremist, when several armed individuals were spotted on the rooftops of nearby buildings. The forces called in an AC-130 Gunship to provide suppressive fire, allowing the forces to continue to their objective. Once at the objective area, several targeted residences were searched and seven suspected Shia extremists were detained. As the team departed the objective, they were ambushed by several insurgents. One ISOF Soldier received non-life threatening injuries and has been transported to a medical facility in Baghdad for treatment. Posted by: Fred 2007-09-21 |
