Iraqi Security Forces, with U.S. Special Forces as advisers, detained four suspected terrorists during a cordon and search operation in the town of Fadiliyah, near Tal Afar, Aug. 9. While conducting the operation, ISF and USSF followed a suspected terrorist, who fled into a nearby field, and detained the individual. Iraqi and U.S. Forces later discovered three suspected terrorists attempting to hide in a nearby field and detained all three without incident. One of the suspected terrorists is allegedly responsible for planning improvised explosive device attacks and is believed to be responsible for the deaths of 25 individuals, including U.S. forces. The other three suspected terrorists are allegedly responsible for kidnappings and murders in the local area. A weapons cache consisting of explosives and detonation cord was destroyed in a controlled detonation.
