2008-08-08 | |
BAGHDAD -- Coalition forces dealt another blow to the Special Groups criminal network Friday morning as they captured a suspected senior Iranian-trained financier and five other suspected criminals in an operation in Abu Tabrah, about 17 km northeast of Baghdad. Intelligence sources led Coalition forces to the location of a suspected Special Groups financier who is assessed to be responsible for the distribution of Iranian lethal aid to Special Group networks throughout the Ghazaliyah and Shu'la areas of Baghdad. As a Special Groups leader, he is also suspected of directing explosively-formed penetrator and improvised explosive device attacks against Iraqi and Coalition forces. Coalition forces approached the targeted individual's location where he identified himself to forces as the wanted suspect. He was then detained along with five associates without incident.
