WASHINGTON, Nov. 7, 2007 – Coalition forces killed three terrorists and detained nine suspects today during operations to disrupt al Qaeda and foreign terrorist networks in central and northern Iraq.
During an operation west of Abu Ghraib, coalition forces targeted an alleged associate of several senior terrorist leaders in Kirkuk. Reports also indicate the targeted individual has information about foreign terrorists in the area. As the force secured the target, several men, one of whom was armed, maneuvered toward them. The suspected terrorists did not comply with the force’s instructions. The armed men continued to maneuver toward coalition troops, who engaged and killed them. Coalition forces detained two suspects.
In Mosul, coalition forces captured a wanted individual during an operation to disrupt al Qaeda operations. The wanted individual is believed to be a leader associated with car-bombing attacks in Baghdad. The man’s wife identified him to coalition forces, and he was subsequently detained.
In other operations along the Tigris River Valley, coalition forces detained six suspects believed to be associated with senior terrorist leaders, foreign terrorists, weapons procurement and al Qaeda media activities.
“Foreign terrorists are responsible for more than 90 percent of suicide bombings in Iraq, and we are relentlessly targeting al Qaeda’s foreign terrorist networks,” said Army Maj. Winfield Danielson, a Multinational Force Iraq spokesman. “Increasingly, Iraqi citizens are helping us find these networks and Iraqi security forces are taking the lead in dismantling them.”
In other operations this week, coalition forces killed three terrorists, and discovered a weapons cache and an alleged detention facility during a multi-day operation Nov. 3-5 targeting al Qaeda and foreign terrorist networks south of Samarra. As coalition forces entered the target area, they observed armed men attempting to evade ground forces. Supporting aircraft engaged, killing two terrorists and destroying one vehicle. As the ground force continued to clear the area, they discovered a vehicle loaded with AK-47s rifles and potential explosive materials. The force observed an individual return to the location to retrieve equipment and engaged and killed him. Also during the operation, the ground force discovered a bunker allegedly used as a terrorist detention facility, and a small cache of weapons, which was destroyed.
“Across Iraq, citizens are rejecting al Qaeda’s barbaric detention facilities, torture houses and atrocities,” Danielson said. “We will continue to work with Iraqi citizens and their security forces to neutralize al Qaeda and the extremist vision they have for Iraq.”
Elsewhere, 18th Military Police Brigade and Multinational Division Baghdad troops worked together Nov. 5 to investigate a weapons cache near the police headquarters building in Baghdad. Soldiers from 4th Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, searched a soccer field across from police headquarters and found two caches that consisted of 10 120 mm mortar rounds, 13 60 mm mortar rounds, a hand grenade, 600 AK-47 rounds, 45 blocks of C4 explosive, a rocket-propelled grenade, 4,000 rounds, 10 82 mm mortars, and two sniper rifles.
Soldiers from 6th Iraqi Army Division advised by U.S. Special Forces soldiers captured seven al Qaeda extremists during operations in Mansour on Nov. 4. The primary target for the operation was a suspected al Qaeda leader who reportedly organized and personally conducted kidnappings, murders and car-bombing attacks. He reportedly ran a criminal network thought to be behind terrorist attacks in numerous districts of Baghdad. The suspect is believed to have ordered the murder of a family of three and the killing of eight construction workers. He also is thought to be behind the attempted murder of a city council chairman and a bombing attack that killed three Iraqi checkpoint guards. During the operation, Iraqi and U.S. forces detained eight additional suspects for questioning.

Welcome to FRWN
Welcome aboard soldier. May your stay be instructive as well as enjoyable.
This old trooper is crying now, thank you.
Thanks..it was so long ago...so long ago.
But I’m fine and here I am at FR. :)
I am going to say this here because I believe it to be important:
Our Troops did not lose Vietnam. We the people lost Vietnam. We let the commie protesters steal our resolve (I speak like I was there, but I was just a youngun who had no clue as to what was going on). But when I look back at it and I see that it took Minh two years to rebuild his Army (with the help of the commies in Russia and China) to take South Vietnam, I say Minh's Army was beat. But he still had his resolve. Something our people lost because the media and commie traitors stole it from them.
Well, I am here to say that I will not allow this to happen on my watch. I stand behind the Troops and their mission. I will not waver, tire, falter, or fail. We debated the war before we went. We will have plenty of time to debate it when it is over. As for know, I would appreciate it if the American people would stand their post. Their post is to keep their resolve. Losing your resolve will defeat your efforts. Stand your ground and let your politician know that losing is not an option.
Scary Reid says we lost the war. Try this on Scary: we lost almost 300,000 in four years of WWII and we won that war. We have lost almost 4,000 in just about the same amount of time in Iraq. I would suggest that we all thank our Troops for the outstanding job they have done, and keep your resolve so those who have given all will not die in vain.
God Bless and never surrender your resolve to commie traitors in this country (see Code Pink, Answer, and the demoratic Congress).
We will not waver; we will not tire; we will not falter; and we will not fail. Peace and freedom will prevail. - W
Take care my friend. Real men do on occasions have to wipe a few out of the lids.
Vietnam was an interesting experience..we were young, gungho and in great physical shape, just like our heroes in the current WOT...It was a different war though, but the rules of engagement then in Vietnam and now in the WOT were similiar in that they started to tie our hands and we couldn’t succesfully complete the mission ie: kill the enemy..The politcal correctness BS will kill us in the WOT..so my point is KILL THE ENEMY WITH NO REGARDS TO COUNTRY, REGION or Religion...Americas survival depends on it!!!
