BALAD — Iraqi Special Operations Forces, advised by U.S. Special Forces captured a Special Groups commander in Baghdad April 30.
ISOF conducted the operation to detain the Special Groups commander who has been leading attacks against Iraqi and Coalition forces in the area. The man is believed to be a weapons smuggler, and is reported to conduct improvised explosive device and indirect fire attacks.
Intelligence reports link him to an IED attack in October 2007 that killed four U.S. soldiers, and a mortar attack in October 2007 that killed one U.S. Soldier.
During the operation, ISOF received small-arms fire from enemy fighters. Two armed individuals were seen running towards ISOF soldiers and were shot and killed.
“The detention of this suspect will likely affect the ability of Special Groups criminals to conduct attacks against Iraqi and Coalition forces in the area, and will possibly lead to the detention of additional criminals in the area,” said Col. Bill Buckner, Multi-National Division – Iraq spokesman.

Sounds like a very special specialty from Monty Python. LOL. Seriously: Excellent work by combined Iraqi-US forces.
Don’t tell the MSM
Quds? At least funded by the Iranians, maybe even Iranian himself. I’d love to know.
It’s too bad our gov’t doesn’t have the guts to make Iran actually pay a price for sending cross eyed goat rapers like this turd eater into Iraq.
I wonder how much longer our kid glove policy with Iran will continue? Twenty more years? Forty?
I guess we haven’t let the Iranians kill enough Americans yet. Or, perhaps, the Iranians just haven’t killed the right people yet... like the son or daughter of one of our trembling politicians.
sandrat,,,thanks for the good new on the war,,keep-up the good work,,
