Murderer Captured in Baghdad

MND-B Soldiers detained the suspected extremist cell leader that was involved in the Janaury 18 detonation of an EFP in Baghdad that killed a mother and her child:

BAGHDAD – Multi-National Division – Bagdad Soldiers detained a suspected extremist cell member for involvement in the detonation of an explosively formed penetrator device in northeast Baghdad Jan. 18.

The detonation occurred near a MND-Baghdad patrol in northeast Baghdad’s Ur neighborhood and killed a mother and her child.

Soldiers from 1st Squadron, 2nd Stryker Calvary Regiment, working with 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, received intelligence on an EFP cell and immediately responded to detain the individual responsible for the killings, along with five of his associates.

“We have evidence this individual has killed innocent women and children,” said Maj. Ed Brouse, effects coordinator for 2nd BCT. “Thanks to the hard work of the War Eagle Squadron, this killer and his fellow thugs are no longer on the street intimidating the Iraqi people.”
