| (KUNA) -- Coalition Forces killed an estimated 13 terrorists during an air strike Thursday targeting a senior foreign fighter facilitator northeast of Amiriya. A Multi-National Force statement said intelligence reports indicated an individual associated with foreign fighter facilitation was in the targeted area. During the operation, Coalition Forces detained five suspected terrorists and found a cache including armor piercing ammunition, it said. Furthermore, it said information gained from the target area led Coalition Forces to two suspected foreign fighter safe houses where suspected terrorists were assembled. Coalition Forces observed the structures to confirm intelligence reports and engaged with precision guided munitions and rotary wing close air support, killing an estimated 13 terrorists. |
