Iraqi cell phone guys nabbed with bad stuff…
An Iraqi Emergency Response Unit detained six suspected criminal gang members during a Baghdad raid Jan. 31.
The suspects are security workers for the Al Atheer mobile communications company. They were detained on Iraqi Ministry of Interior warrants for suspicion of engaging in criminal activity within the Monsour area of Baghdad.
The individuals were detained without incident. Iraqi forces confiscated two machine guns, an assault rifle and an armored Mercedes Benz sedan during the operation. The Iraqi Army raided the Al Atheer facility in early January 2008 and confiscated several unlicensed weapons.
Two other persons of interest were also taken into custody for further questioning
The ERU was advised during the operation by U.S. Special Forces Soldiers.
