BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces killed 14 terrorists, detained two suspected terrorists and destroyed a known foreign fighter safe house Saturday morning during a raid south of Baqubah.
Intelligence reports indicated that a foreign fighter facilitator responsible for conducting multiple attacks on Iraqi and Coalition Forces was operating in the area. As ground forces approached the objective building, several terrorists began to flee the targeted and surrounding buildings. Others were observed maneuvering against the Coalition forces.
Ground forces called for close air support resulting in 14 enemy fighters killed during the air strikes. Additionally, Coalition aircraft delivered precision munitions and destroyed the building to prevent it from further use as a terrorist safe haven.
This is another step closer to defeating the facilitation of foreign fighters in Iraq and helping establish a safe and peaceful Iraq.
