Special Groups Cell Leader Arrested
 It looks like we caught this guy the day before the financier. Was HE the tipster? BAGHDAD Multi-National Division Baghdad Soldiers captured a suspected Special Groups criminal cell leader in the Rashid District of the Iraqi capital Feb. 19. Soldiers from 2nd Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment, attached to Task Force Dragon, noticed a man fitting the description of a suspected cell leader during a routine patrol of Abu TShir and detained him without incident. It is believed the alleged Special Groups cell leader had taken over the day-to-day direction of the criminal cell after its previous leader was arrested by Coalition forces in the same area. The suspect was taken to a Coalition forces detention facility for further questioning. The criminal activities of those who choose to dishonor the ceasefire pledge of al-Sayyid Muqtada al-Sadr will not be tolerated, said Lt. Col. Steve Stover, MND-B spokesman. We will continue to work with Iraqi security forces to identify these criminals and bring them to justice. Posted by: Glenmore 2008-02-22 |
