Troops stop alleged al-Qaeda operatives returning to Rashid
Multi-National Division Baghdad Soldiers arrested two men who were suspected terrorists attempting to infiltrate back into the Rashid District Dec. 6. Warriors of Company A, 2nd Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division, and Tuskers from Company B, 4th Battalion, 64th Armored Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division, both attached to the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Inf. Div., made the arrest of the alleged al-Qaeda operatives after receiving a tip from an informant.In the Doura region, the Warriors raided a home and detained an alleged al-Qaeda in Iraq member suspected of multiple murders. Iraqi Security Volunteers believe the suspect was in the neighborhood trying to re-organize a new terrorist group in the area. After a fire fight in Saydiyah, the Tuskers detained a man who the Iraqi Army believes may be a member of a radical AQI splinter group. During a patrol, the Soldiers and members of the 1st Battalion, 3rd Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division were shot at from a home, and returned fire. Upon clearing the house, Soldiers found a blood trail that led them to the suspect armed with a pistol and a hand grenade. Posted by: Fred 2007-12-11 |
