TIKRIT, Iraq – Coalition Forces killed four anti-Iraqi Forces and detained two others several miles south of Dujayl, about 80 miles north of Baghdad, Dec. 15 after AIF attempted to engage a Coalition convoy during curfew hours.

An air weapons team, under the direction of the 3rd Combined Arms Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, engaged the AIF after they observed them setting up ambush positions along Highway 1, the main highway between Baghdad and Mosul.

Upon further investigation, Coalition Forces discovered various semi-automatic machine guns – including three AK-47s, three rocket-propelled grenade launchers, and one RPK fully-automatic machinegun.
