Iraqi Special Ops Guys Nail Al Qaeda Leader In Mosul
Pictured: Iraqi Special Operations Forces demonstrate their ability to fight terrorists at a graduation ceremony attended by the U.S. commander in Iraq, General David H. Petraeus, and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Iraqi Special Forces nabbed an AQ propagandist/recruiter and IED team puke. His capture on Sunday also led to the arrest of more Al Qaeda operatives in Mosul.
Gee, didn’t take him long to rat out his buddies.
I’m starting to think that “advising” the Iraqis and letting them “interrogate” captives might not be a bad idea.
From MNF-I:
Iraqi Special Operations Forces, advised by U.S. Special Forces, detained a suspected terrorist leader during an operation in Mosul on Sunday, Feb. 17.
According to intelligence reports, the suspect is responsible for improvised-explosive device attacks against Iraqi security forces in Mosul. The suspect is also believed to be responsible for distributing insurgent propaganda in the city.
And then from VOI:
Iraqi army forces on Monday detained three al-Qaeda’s Islamic State of Iraq gunmen in eastern Mosul, the official spokesman for the Ninewa operations said.
“A force form the 4th battalion of the first brigade detained three gunmen from the Islamic State of Iraq in al-Intsar neighborhood in eastern Mosul,” Brig. Khaled Abdul Sattar told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq (VOI).
