Iraqi Army Captures Al Qaeda Emir in Qayyarah

Another Iraqi Army stepps up and with Coalition Forces along as advisers they capture an Al Qaeda Emir in Qayyarah:

BAGHDAD – Elements of the Iraqi Army Second Division, with Coalition Forces as advisors, captured the alleged emir of Qayyarah for Al Qaeda during an intelligence driven operation July 15 in Qayyarah.

During the operation, Iraqi Army and Coalition Forces also detained three other individuals at the residence and recovered terrorist propaganda, passports and Korean currency.

The capture of this individual will disrupt terrorist networks operating in eastern Ninewa Province. The individual has high level contacts in the Al Qaeda network, cells for foreign fighters and improvised explosive devices.

Good work boys as you step up to defend your country from the true invaders and occupiers, Al-Qaeda in Iraq and the numerous Iranian sponsored militias. Missions like this aonly serve to prove that Iraq is not a failure and Iraqi units are not untrainable.
