CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq – Local citizens and Iraqi Police denied an al Qaeda in Iraq convoy entry into Jumaylah, 60 km west of Baghdad, early Feb. 20, firing on the convoy and detonating a suicide truck bomb that injured one Iraqi Police officer, one civilian and the bomber.
U.S. Army Soldiers from the 3rd Battalion, 509th Infantry (Airborne) responded to the attack where Iraqi Police were already on the scene. An Iraqi officer reported that AQI terrorists seeking a safe haven within the town near Karmah had been threatening the citizens over the past several months.
The citizens responded by forming a check point within the town to deny AQI any sanctuary.
