BAGHDAD – Multi-National Division – Baghdad forces arrested two alleged criminal extremist leaders and another suspect during a cordon and search operation in West Rashid, Nov. 28.
“Black Lions” from Company D, 1st Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, captured the suspects during an early morning operation.
One of the alleged extremist leaders suspected of ordering attacks on Coalition and Iraqi Security Forces, assassinations and kidnappings, was detained after he tried to drive through a checkpoint.
Another alleged extremist leader, believed to have ordered mortar and rocket attacks on Coalition bases, rocket-propelled grenade attacks and placing improvised explosive devices, was also arrested during the raid. The two alleged insurgents, along with a third suspect, are being held for further questioning.
Leadership positions in the insurgency are one of the hardest positions to fill, simply because we capture so many of them. Good work boys!
