IRAQ: Iraqi Army captures suspected terrorist leader, detain four others

/noticias.info/ BALAD, Iraq – Iraqi Army soldiers with the 2nd Iraqi Army Division captured a suspected mid-level leader for the Islamic State of Iraq, a front organization for the foreign-led al Qaeda in Iraq, in Mosul June 18.

The IA conducted an operation to disrupt terrorist activities and cell operations in western Mosul. They captured a suspected terrorist leader accused of facilitating and distributing improvised explosive devices in the area. The suspected terrorist is allegedly responsible for numerous IED and vehicle-borne IED attacks on Iraqi and Coalition forces.

The suspect is also accused of engaging and killing Coalition forces on numerous occasions over the past three years.

The IA also detained four other suspected terrorists during the operation.

“Iraqi Security Forces continue to garner impressive results in the Mosul area and throughout Iraq. This successful operation should seriously degrade the current terrorist network in western Mosul,” said Lt. Col. Neil Harper, a spokesman for Multi-National Corps - Iraq. notas_de_prensa_archivo
