BAGHDAD – Eight suspected terrorists, including two linked to a network placing improvised explosive devices, were detained Tuesday when Coalition Forces conducted raids near Baghdad and Fallujah.

In Baghdad, two individuals were detained for having alleged ties to a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device network operating in the area. They are suspected of providing and transporting VBIED materials.

In Karmah, a village northeast of Fallujah, Coalition Forces detained six men for suspected ties to the al-Qaida terrorist network.

“These captures are another step in disrupting the terrorist networks operating in Iraq,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson.
