Anti-Terrorist Successes in Central & Northern Iraq
2007-11-16
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces killed two terrorists and detained 12 suspects Friday during operations targeting terrorist networks in central and northern Iraq. Coalition forces captured a wanted individual southeast of Baghdad during operations targeting foreign terrorist facilitators in the Southern Belt. Reports also indicate the individual was involved in planning attacks on coalition aircraft.
Sounds like a good catch. Hope a good roll-up follows.
The ground force approached the target building and called for the occupants to come out, but the individuals did not comply.
"Come out witcher mitts in da air or else!"
"Duuuh, youse ain't taking me alive youse infidel scum! ..."
One of the men was wearing a vest loaded with grenades. Perceiving hostile intent, ...
Very perceptive perceiving, lads.
... the ground force engaged, killing two of the men. In addition to the wanted individual, Coalition forces detained three other suspects on site.
"You guys aren't going to show any 'hostile intent', are you?"
"Oh, no, no effendi!"
In other operations in Ramadi, Mosul and Kirkuk, Coalition Forces detained eight suspects while targeting associates of al-Qaeda in Iraq leaders and those believed to be involved in kidnappings, assassinations and small arms attacks against Iraqi police and Coalition forces.
Ramadi is a lot better than it was, but it takes continual effort to keep it that way.
