8 ARROWHEAD BRIGADE DETAINS SUSPECTS, COLLECTS ARMS IN MOSUL
CENTCOM/CJTF7 generally puts out reports by early morning....always before DoD. All other Defense sources use the original CENTCOM-CJTF7 releases, so check them first. Or Freepmail me a title, or URL. Probably fastest, unless my 'puter's down again.
