Bomb emplacer killed in Iraq
One bomb emplacer was killed and another detained following an improvised explosive device detonation near a U.S. convoy north of Hawijah yesterday – September 17 2009.
A patrol consisting of Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, was struck by an IED while en route to the Mahus Police station to conduct a planned combined patrol. While U.S. forces were responding to the IED, two bomb emplacers attempted to flee the scene. The patrol repeatedly warned the two attackers to stop, fired warning shots and then engaged them. One was killed and the other is in the custody of the Iraqi Army.
On further investigation, additional bomb-making and other materiel that could be used in attacking vehicles was discovered near the spot where they were hiding.
