ISF Pressures Insurgents in Western Baghdad


By U.S. Army Master Sgt. Rick Brown, MNSTC-I Public Affairs

BAGHDAD — As the new year dawns bright Soldiers from the 3rd Battalion, 5th Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division are stepping up pressure on insurgent leaders in the Karkh section of Baghdad.

The Soldiers of the 3rd Battalion take the responsibility of protecting all citizens, both Shia and Sunni, very seriously. The leadership, working with intelligence gained from the residence of the neighborhoods, have developed a top-three list of insurgents who operate in the area that they intend to capture.

Adil Tamra, a man who reportedly kills people for the sport of it, is at the top of that list.
