IRAQ: Kirkuk IPs conduct successful joint operations

/noticias.info/ TIKRIT, Iraq – Kirkuk’s Emergency Services Unit and the Aruba Police conducted a successful joint operation against members of a suspected kidnapping ring May 4.

One of the suspects opened fire on police as they approached the target house.

The police returned fire, killing the gunman. An Aruba policeman was also wounded in the attack.

During a search of the premises, police recovered eight false identification cards, one AK 47 with 35 magazines and one pistol with 23 magazines.

The police also detained another occupant in the house, who is currently been held for questioning.

“The police are doing an excellent job of targeting criminal elements in Kirkuk,” said Col. David Paschal, commander of the 1st Brigade, 10th Mountain Division.

“The city’s police forces are well-trained and prepared to defend their citizens.” Iraqis who fail to obey the rule of law will be found out and brought to justice by the ISF and the people of Kirkuk, Paschal said. notas_de_prensa_archivo
