Up to three armed men were arrested in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul during Operation Cool Spring, the Multi-National Forces said. A statement for the Multi-National Forces said Thursday that Iraqi army troops along with soldiers from Task Force Band of Brothers carried out Operation Cool Spring in south Mosul. It added that the three insurgents arrested are on the Iraqi government's wanted list and are all "previously identified by the unit as possibly being in the area and having connections with known terrorist organizations." According to the statement, "The Iraqi brigade demonstrated their military planning skills by formulating the mission, issuing appropriate orders to its subordinate units, and over watching the conduct of the operation." |
