Iraqi Army Detains Five Al-Qaeda in Iraq Members in Al Doura

Iraqi Army units have stepped up once again this time in the Al Doura area of Southern Baghdad and captured 5 members of Al Qaeda in Iraq:

The Iraqi Army detained five suspected Al-Qaeda-Iraq cell members in the southern area of Baghdad area June 29. The Iraqi forces detained the primary suspects without incident.

The suspected terrorists are allegedly responsible for several attacks on Coalition Forces. In particular, this terrorist cell and its members are accused of coordinating a complex attack on Coalition Forces on June 29, 2007, emplacing improvised explosive devices against Coalition Force patrols and organizing sniper attacks on Coalition Forces.

With the capture of these enemy leaders as well as the seizure of computers, cell phones and weapons used in terror cell operations it is quite possible that the cell working in Al Doura will be hampered.
