Three Killed, Eight Detained in Morning Operations

This morning Coalition Forces operating in Anbar Province captured another Al-Qaeda in Iraq leader. The operation resulted in three terrorists killed and eight detained:

BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces killed three terrorists and detained eight suspected terrorists during operations in Anbar province Friday targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq facilitators.

During a raid west of Fallujah, Coalition Forces captured a suspected al-Qaeda in Iraq battalion commander, responsible for logistics and oversight of terrorist attacks by cells within his group.

He has also allegedly attempted to forge working relationships with media outlets to broadcast jihadist propaganda, including videos of attacks on Coalition Forces.

After Coalition Forces entered the building, they encountered a man with an AK-47 and two men with pistols who began firing on the ground force. Coalition Forces, acting in self-defense, engaged the three armed terrorists, killing them. Two suspected terrorists on scene were detained during the raid.

Northeast of Ramadi, Coalition Forces targeted a suspected terrorist who allegedly facilitates the movement of foreigners into Iraq for participation in terrorist attacks. The ground forces detained six suspects during the operation.
Another one bites the dust, as they say. Good work boys!
