BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces detained 43 suspected terrorists during operations Monday targeting al-Qaeda leaders and operatives in central Iraq.
Coalition Forces detained 15 suspected terrorists during two coordinated operations just north of Baghdad targeting associates of an al-Qaeda in Iraq senior leader. The suspects are allegedly members of the Baghdad vehicle-borne improvised explosive device network, and two of the detainees are believed to be bodyguards for the senior leader.
Northwest of the capital city, Coalition Forces raided three buildings associated with another al-Qaeda in Iraq senior leader tied to the Baghdad VBIED network. The ground force detained 13 suspected terrorists for their alleged association with the
network.
Based on information gained from successful operations June 13 and 16, Coalition Forces targeted the al-Qaeda in Iraq senior leadership east of Fallujah. During raids on several buildings in the area, the ground force detained 13 suspected terrorists for their alleged ties to the senior leaders.
These operations are crucial to reducing the levels of violence in Baghdad and the rest of Iraq and each successful operation reduces the level of violence able to be wrought against the populace all in the name of al-Qaeda in Iraq.
