BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces detained 16 suspects, including three wanted individuals, Sunday during operations to disrupt al-Qaeda in Iraq and foreign terrorist operations in central and northern Iraq.

During an operation in southern Baghdad, Coalition forces captured a wanted individual believed to be involved in the car-bombing network in the Rusafa and Karkh area. Reports indicate the suspect was associated with several of the network’s senior leaders and allegedly tried to re-establish operations after significant degradation by Coalition forces.

Intelligence reports led Coalition forces to a residential house, where the ground force called for the occupants to come out. Two men were detained by Coalition forces, one of whom led Coalition forces to two nearby buildings. The ground force called for the buildings’ occupants to come out and they complied. Coalition forces detained four other suspects, including the wanted individual.

During an operation northeast of the capital city, Coalition forces captured a wanted individual believed to be tied to foreign terrorist facilitators and other senior al-Qaeda leaders operating in Salman Pak. Coalition forces entered the target area, called for a building’s occupants to come out and they complied without incident. The suspect identified himself to the ground force and was subsequently detained.

Farther north in Mosul, Coalition forces captured another wanted individual believed to be involved in the city’s terrorist propaganda network. The ground force isolated the target building, called for the building’s occupants to come out, and they complied without incident. During the operation, Coalition forces found significant al-Qaeda propaganda believed to be for distribution as part of the media network. The wanted individual identified himself to the ground force and was subsequently detained.

During three separate operations near Salman Pak, Bayji and Mosul, Coalition forces detained eight suspects while targeting alleged foreign terrorist facilitators, couriers, associates of senior level al-Qaeda members, and planners of improvised explosive device attacks against the Iraqi people.

“These captures are another step forward in disrupting al-Qaeda networks,” said Maj. Winfield Danielson, MNF-I spokesman. “We will continue to dismantle their terrorist networks so Iraqis can have a future of their own choosing.”

Well, I certainly hope they were read their Miranda rights and given full access to taxpayer-paid ACLU legal assistance.

“Coalition forces” with no unit designations usually = SPECOPS.
