BALAD, Iraq – Iraqi Special Operations Forces captured a terrorist in western Mosul, Iraq, May 15.
The ISOF conducted the operation to capture a member of the Islamic State of Iraq, a front organization for al-Qaeda in Iraq, responsible for improvised explosive device emplacement and providing information to the ISI about the Iraqi Army and Iraqi Police. Six other suspects were detained in the operation.
This operation is expected to disrupt the ISI cell’s terrorist activities and diminish future attacks on IA and Coalition forces in western Mosul.
“Iraqi Special Operations Forces, partnered with Coalition forces, will continue to pursue terrorists who threaten innocent Iraqi citizens,” said Col. Bill Buckner, MNC-I spokesman.
