Cavalry units of the 10th Mountain Division utilizing intelligence obtained from area residents launched Operation Crazyhorse Thunder and detained 7 suspects stopping them from emplacing IEDs along a main route.
ABU SHIEKAN, Iraq — Seven suspects were detained for allegedly planting improvised explosive devices along Route Tampa, the highway leading into Baghdad, June 23.
Troop C, 1st Squadron, 89th Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division targeted an IED cell, based in the Abu Shiekan and Abu Hillan villages, believed to be responsible for setting IEDs several times a week along the highway.
The nighttime raid was based on information provided by area residents and from local tips. The cell was operating in an area 12 kilometers southwest of the Iraqi capital.
Each day brings more and more involvement by area residents and each tip takes one more terrorist off the streets making Iraq safer for all Iraqis. Saddam's dream of turnning an empty and barren Iraq over to his conquerer is slowly coing to an end.
