TIKRIT, Iraq – Iraqi police conducted a combined operation with Coalition Forces against al Qaeda in Iraq west of Samarra, Nov. 9. In the operation, seven insurgents were killed, four more detained and a weapons cache was secured.
Several media outlets quoted a civilian in Samarra, and an unnamed Iraqi policeman suggesting they had conducted this attack against al Qaeda in Iraq with permission from CF. The unnamed sources further claimed they requested CF not use aviation assets in the area due to concern their group might be accidentally attacked. These claims are false.
Iraqi Security Forces and CF do not coordinate operations with militias, as the Iraqi government does not recognize the authority of any militias. Additionally, ISF and CF only coordinate with CLCs on security of key infrastructure.
We encourage Iraqi citizens interested in their own security to join the CLC movement and continue assisting the ISF by providing tips on criminal and terrorist activities.
