4 al-Qaeda leaders detained in air drop in Diala
DIALA / Aswat al-Iraq: Iraqi security forces arrested on Friday four al-Qaeda leaders during an air drop in Diala, according to a security source.
"A force of the Quick Response Department (QRD) in Diala waged on Friday (June 11) a joint air drop with U.S. troops, targeting al-Qaeda stronghold in Hamrien region in Khanaqin, where two al-Qaeda leaders were arrested in accordance with Article IV Terrorism Law," the source, who asked to remain anonymous, told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.
"The forces launched another air drop in al-Mafraq neighborhood in central Baaquba, where they arrested two leaders," he added. Baaquba, the capital of Diala, lies 57 km northeast of Baghdad.
Those Quick Response guys are awfully busy all of a sudden. It's sounds like they're having fun, though, air drops and arrests and all. |
