Wanted men captured
Coalition forces continued to batter the al-Qaeda in Iraq bombing and foreign terrorist facilitation networks Wednesday [June 4 2008], detaining nine suspects in central and northwestern Iraq.
In and around Baghdad, Coalition forces disrupted al-Qaeda in Iraq’s bombing networks by capturing two wanted men and detaining two additional suspected terrorists. One wanted man detained in Baghdad was reportedly involved in weapons distribution and car bombings. The other wanted man was detained about 20 kilometers north, in Taji, and is believed to gather intelligence for a bombing network in the area.
Coalition forces in Tikrit, about 160 kilometers north of Baghdad, captured a wanted man and four associates who are believed to be involved in organizing suicide bombings and facilitating the movement of foreign terrorists into Iraq. Additionally, detainee reporting led Coalition forces to a foreign-terrorist bed-down site west of Bi’aj, about 130 kilometers west of Mosul, where they discovered and safely destroyed two terrorist safe-houses.
