CAMP HABBANIYAH, Iraq –Iraqi Army Soldiers and U.S. Marines wrapped up an intelligence driven mission which resulted in 77 detainees near Habbaniyah Friday. The mission to detain members of murder and intimidation cells was a joint operation with Iraqi Forces and Marines of Regimental Combat Team 6, supported by local Iraqis focused on ridding their towns of insurgents.
During the mission, Soldiers of the 1st Iraqi Army Division and Marines from 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment detained individuals suspected of coordinating insurgent attacks against Iraqi Security Forces and Coalition Forces. Several of the detainees were immediately identified as persons of special interest according to intelligence reports.
Local citizens informed Iraqi Security Forces of numerous individuals that had a possible connection to insurgent activity. This information ignited the Iraqi Army Soldiers and Marines to plan missions to simultaneously detain possible members of anti-Iraq forces.
