| Iraqi Forces, with U.S. Special Forces as advisers, detained four militant extremists and two al Qaeda in Iraq terrorists during two operations Sept. 20 in the Baghdad area. During one of the operations, Iraqi Special Operations Forces detained an alleged militant extremist commander and three suspected insurgents in the Aamel area of Baghdad. The alleged militant extremist company commander operates out of Hay Al-Amil and is suspected of directing other extremists to conduct kidnappings, executions and mortar attacks against innocent Sunni civilians. One other high-level extremist and two suspected insurgents were detained during the operation. Four AK-47 assault rifles, three magazines, one computer, four cell phones and one video camera were seized. In a separate operation targeting al Qaeda in Iraq criminals, Soldiers from the 6th Iraqi Army Division detained two Sunni extremists during an early-morning operation in Arab Jabour. One of the detainees is suspected of commanding a cell that conducts extra judicial killings and specializes in attacks using improvised explosive devices in the Jabour area. |
