Coalition Forces detained 19 suspected terrorists associated with facilitating foreign fighters, working with al-Qaeda in Iraq and operating a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device network Monday.
South of Karmah, Coalition Forces captured six suspected foreign fighter facilitators connected to the al-Qaeda in Iraq network.
In Anbar province, nine individuals suspected of working with al-Qaeda in Iraq were detained in three separate Coalition raids.
Coalition Forces detained four suspected terrorists south of Taji for their alleged involvement in a network responsible to making and placing VBIEDs.
"The success of coalition operations continues to disrupt al-Qaeda's operations in Iraq. These captures help restrict their freedom of movement and reduce the organization's manpower pool, diminishing their ability to attack innocent civilians as well as Iraqi and Coalition Forces," said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson.
