4TH INFANTRY OPERATIONS FOR THE PAST 24 HOURS

TIKRIT, IRAQ - During the past 24 hours 4thID soldiers raided three locations and captured six individuals, four of them suspected of involvement in anti-Coalition activity.

In a separate event, one attacker was killed after he fired an automatic weapon at soldiers from C Company, 1st Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment Wednesday morning 6 kilometers west of Balad. An AK-47 assault rifle was recovered near the body of the attacker. The remains of the attacker were turned over to the Iraqi police. Soldiers were in the area searching for individuals believed to be responsible for attacks against Coalition forces and captured two individuals.

An Iraqi child was killed in Tikrit when a rocket propelled grenade, aimed at soldiers from 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, missed them and exploded near the child Wednesday afternoon. The child was killed instantly, and soldiers were unsuccessful in their attempts to capture the attackers.

Members of the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps and soldiers from 3rd Battalion, 66th Armor Regiment raided a building in Bayji just after midnight Thursday in an attempt to capture former regime loyalists.
