Sadr Revolt 3-26-2008 am
Baghdad Soldiers detained three individuals suspected of conducting indirect fire attacks against Coalition forces March 25.
Soldiers from 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, conducted a combat operation after a surveillance team provided information about the three detainees.
Soldiers cordoned off the building the suspects had entered and apprehended the men. They also seized an 81 mm mortar tube with base plate and tripod, a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, RPG warheads, a mortar aiming circle, compass, global positioning system, sets of military-style uniforms, and AK-47s. Soldiers also discovered multiple mortar documents.
