MAHMUDIYAH — Coalition and Iraqi troops quickly secured an area near the south Baghdad city of Mahmudiyah on April 8, after improvised explosive device in a car exploded.

U.S. Army soldiers from the 2nd Battalion, 15th Field Artillery Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry), along with the 4th Brigade, 6th Iraqi army division, rendered aid to Iraqi residents after a car bomb detonated at a mechanic shop killing 17 Iraqis and injuring 26 others.

"Today was an evil attack, and I as an Iraqi am very sad," said Brig. Gen. Ali, the Iraqi army commander. "However, the terrorists will not get away with this."

The attack, which was coordinated just one day before the anniversary of Iraq's liberation, was intended to disrupt the lives of Iraqis.
