BAGHDAD — Several insurgents were captured and a weapons cache was found during a combined security operation that was kicked off Wednesday in the Haifa Street area of Baghdad, officials said.
Seven suspected insurgents have been detained and a weapons cache uncovered as Iraqi army, Iraqi national police and Coalition forces continued a combined security operation on Haifa Street.
Operation Tomahawk Strike 11 is a series of targeted raids to disrupt illegal militia activity and help restore Iraqi Security Force control in the area, officials said. As the operation commenced early Wednesday morning, an enemy mortar team engaged Coalition and Iraqi forces. A single mortar round was launched by coalition forces, and the insurgent mortar team dispersed.
