| BAGHDAD - Coalition Forces further disrupted terrorist cells using improvised explosive devices Friday morning when eight terrorists were killed and 41 suspected terrorists were detained during operations around Iraq. Near Mahmudiyah, Coalition Forces detained eight suspected terrorists. Another raid uncovered a building containing seven tanks of chlorine, which Coalition Forces destroyed. Seven armed terrorists were killed after they fired upon Coalition Forces entering a building. Forces on the scene detained 15 suspected terrorists who are allegedly tied to al-Qaeda in Iraq. One armed terrorist was killed when Coalition Forces entered a building in Baghdad to conduct an operation to disrupt the Baghdad vehicle-borne IED network. Six suspected terrorists were detained, and Coalition Forces found VBIED components in the building. Another operation in Baghdad netted two individuals with suspected ties to the Baghdad IED network. Near Mosul, Coalition Forces detained 10 suspected terrorists in two separate operations to disrupt the al-Qaeda network in northern Iraq. "Terrorists continue to endanger the Iraqi people and security forces by using explosives, and we will continue to disrupt their networks across the country," said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson. |

| #2 Does Harry Reid know any of this ? I think not. I expect a picture from our troops to Senator Reid expressing their disappointment at his loss. |
