BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces killed one terrorist and detained seven suspected terrorists during a raid Tuesday morning in Baghdad targeting terrorists involved in the production of local vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices.
Upon arrival at the objective, three individuals fled from a nearby building. Coalition Forces tracked them to a nearby river where two of the suspected terrorists surrendered without incident. Coalition Forces shot and killed one armed terrorist who refused to surrender and began maneuvering toward the ground forces.
At the targeted building, Coalition Forces found several AK-47s, hundreds of machine-gun rounds and assorted explosives which they seized. They also detained five other suspected terrorists.
Considering the amount of human suffering and damage inflicted by VBIEDs, it is significant when Coalition Forces are able to eliminate and detain terrorists involved in these attacks.
