| Coalition Kills One Terrorist, Captures 29 |
| 2007-02-01 |
| BAGHDAD–Coalition Forces killed one foreign terrorist facilitator and detained 29 suspected terrorists while conducting operations Thursday throughout Iraq. This ratio should be reversed for future operations, since 'Catch and Release' appears to be the 'standard practice.' In Tarmiyah, Coalition Forces detained 18 suspected terrorists who are reportedly involved in al-Qaida kidnapping operations, improvised explosives devices emplacement and terrorist safe house activities. In other operations, intelligence reports indicated that a foreign fighter network involved in vehicle hijackings, kidnappings, and insurgency funding was operating in Muhammadi. As Coalition Forces approached the targeted area, one armed man chambered a round and attempted to fire at ground forces. Coalition Forces shot and killed the armed terrorist and detained one suspected terrorist. Coalition Forces also detained five suspected terrorists northwest of Rutbah tied to foreign fighter activities in Syria and Iraq. Four suspected terrorists were captured by Coalition Forces in the Baghdad area with ties to vehicle-borne IED manufacturing and emplacement and foreign terrorist facilitation. One suspect with ties to al-Qaida in Iraq was detained in Tikrit. |

| #1 Agreed...Most of these a**wipes are "foot-soldiers", compartmentalized from the terror-network intel. |
