Coalition Forces detain terrorist leaders responsible for IED/EFP attacks in Diyala
2007-10-04
Coalition Forces detained two terrorist leaders responsible for emplacing improvised explosive devices and explosively formed penetrators on roads in Diyala province during a raid in Boob al Sham, Iraq, Sept. 29. Soldiers from Alpha Battery, 2nd Battalion, 12th Field Artillery Regiment, 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, detained the key supplier of weapons and explosives to a terrorist cell operating in and around Boob Al Sham.

The suspect is believed to be the trigger man of an EFP discovered by Coalition Forces, Sept. 20, just north of Jadidah, Iraq. He is also the close associate of cell members that killed one U.S. Soldier and wounded another in a July 19 EFP attack.

The other suspect is a high-ranking terrorist involved in directing IED/EFP attacks and small-arms strikes against Sunni civilians, Iraqi Security Forces and Coalition Forces in Diyala province.

“These captures will interrupt the enemy’s ability to disrupt our operations on one of the main routes in our area of operations,” said Lt. Col. John Drago, 2-12 FA commander. “We believe these people were also involved in EFP activity in other areas across the brigade battle space, and we’ve hurt their ability to emplace IEDs and EFPs and to obtain weapons. This demonstrates our ability to curtail insurgent activity in order to provide a more secure and stable environment for the Iraqi people.”

Four other suspects were detained in the raid and all are currently being questioned.

#9  Boob al Sham stated twice in just the first paragraph? Imagine the *snickers* that the Public Affairs guy who wrote that got, tee-hee?

Isn't Boob al Sham where Pamela Anderson lives?

#8  Wow, Red Dawg. That video was really cool. Those boys even looked like they were really playing. I doubt if they were because they used to lip synch on all those old TV shows but it was pretty cool anyway. And the dancing girls...I never used to appreciate that when I was a kid.

#4  SEA: I realized at dinner tonight that I know more about what's going on in Diyala Province and Mohmand Agency than I do about my own neighborhood.

Come to think of it Sea we are a special breed of nut. Folks, old friends ask me what I've been doing too, and it's hard to put a concrete answer to it.
