BAGHDAD — Coalition forces battered the terrorist propaganda network in Baghdad Saturday and Sunday, killing two terrorists and detaining 15 suspects while targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq associates around the country.
Coalition forces surrounded a location in Baghdad Saturday targeting a leader of an al-Qaeda in Iraq propaganda cell. Coalition forces engaged and killed one man who drew a weapon when they entered the target building. They engaged and killed another suspected terrorist when they perceived hostile intent from his failure to follow Coalition forces’ instructions.
Six suspects who fled to nearby homes were detained, including a man assessed to be the targeted leader.
Using information from that operation, Coalition forces conducted several more operations in the city Sunday, confiscating propaganda materials and detaining five more suspected terrorists allegedly tied to the network.
During another operation in Baghdad Saturday, Coalition forces captured a wanted man believed to conspire with AQI leaders.
Coalition forces in Mosul captured a suspected AQI agent and one additional suspected terrorist Sunday. The agent is believed to have close contact with several AQI senior leaders. About 90 kilometers south in Sharqat, Coalition forces detained a suspected terrorist believed to be tied to a bombing network in the area.
I thought this was an article about CNN?

At first i was thinking the same thing. That 'suspects' might be the wrong word.
But we also know these people are terrorist that operate this, there could be some are there against their will.
More good news...
The fanatical Taliban mastermind behind recent attacks in which six British soldiers died in Afghanistan has been killed in a missile attack by an Army Apache helicopter.
In what military chiefs described as a ‘deliberate and surgical strike’, the 35-year-old rebel leader - known as Sadiqullah - died alongside nine fellow Taliban fighters after the Apache fired two laser-guided Hellfire missiles at their red pick-up truck and destroyed it.
The rebel leader had been tracked down after weeks of secret intelligence work.
The attack came after an intense summer campaign mounted by Sadiqullah and his Taliban fighters against British, American and Nato forces.
Victims of his roadside bombs included intelligence officer Corporal Sarah Bryant, 26, the first British woman soldier to be killed in Afghanistan. She died alongside three SAS reservists. Two Paratroopers also died in Taliban ambushes last week.
Sadiqullah was one of a number of key Taliban militia known as ‘Sarbaz’ - people who care nothing for their own lives.
