WASHINGTON — A Coalition air strike killed a terrorist near Khanaqin, and Iraqi Soldiers responded to two bombings in Baghdad Wednesday, military officials reported.

A Coalition aircraft was leaving a raid that targeted foreign fighter facilitators when it received small-arms fire from a vehicle, officials said. Coalition Forces returned fire, destroying the vehicle and killing the armed terrorist. Ground forces detained a suspected terrorist during the raid. Iraqi Soldiers responded to two bombings in Baghdad Wednesday.

Soldiers from the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division, who work with the U.S. Army’s 2nd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division Military Transition Teams, responded to a car-bomb attack in Baghdad’s Sadr City neighborhood. Three Iraqis were killed, and eight others were wounded in the explosion.
