IRAQ: Iraqi Army, U.S. Soldiers capture militant in Muthanna (Baghdad)

/noticias.info/ BAGHDAD – Iraqi Army and Multi-National Division – Baghdad Soldiers captured a militant with ties to al-Qaeda in Iraq in the Rusafa security district of eastern Baghdad June 15.

Iraqi Army Soldiers from the 1st Brigade, with support from the 30th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (Light), conducted a clearance operation in the Muthanna area and captured a criminal linked to AQI.

The target of the operation was a mosque security guard suspected of being involved in several improvised explosive device and explosively formed projectile attacks, murders and kidnappings.

“This militant abused the sanctuary and sanctity of a mosque to disguise his evil intent and activities,” said Maj. Joey Sullinger, a spokesperson for MND-B. “[Criminals] have no shame in the extent to which they will go to carry out attacks against innocent Iraqi civilians and security forces.” notas_de_prensa_archivo
