| Iraqi Special Forces Detains AQI Commander in Khadra |
| 2007-10-31 |
| BALAD, Iraq – Iraqi Special Operations Forces conducted a raid Oct. 29 in Khadra detaining a suspected al Qaeda in Iraq terrorist network leader and three others. The AQI leader is believed to lead four insurgent groups who are suspected of conducting attacks on Iraqi Security Forces and terrorizing local civilians. Coalition Forces believe he and his network are involved in attacks on Iraqi infrastructure and medical facilities, including the burning of Iraq’s main drug storehouse which provided medicine to sick citizens. More evidence of AQI's lack of understanding of how to win friends and influence people. Iraqi Special Operations Forces were advised by U.S. Special Forces in the operation to capture the suspected terrorist. During the operation, Iraqi and U.S. Forces came under insurgent fire and responded with proportional return fire. No civilian casualties or damage to property occurred as a result of Iraqi or U.S. action. One U.S. Soldier was injured with non-life threatening injuries during the operation. The Soldier was treated by U.S. medical personnel and returned to duty. |

| #4 ...came under insurgent fire and responded with proportional return fire.... Does that mean the lawyer clip boards showed we could only fire 11 rounds back because that's what was 'fair'? This is BS. |

| #3 I am sure they will be treated according to the customs of all who are guests of the Iraqi justice system. Beyond the right to a free trip around the Sun every year, I am not sure what civil rights an Iraqi prisoner has according to their law. |

| #2 Now that he is in custody, I wonder if they are going to violate his civil rights. |
