In Baghdad on May 25th, coalition forces raided a house looking for a suspected al Qaeda battalion commander capturing him and two other suspects
Intelligence reports indicate he is responsible for numerous attacks in Baghdad, including assassinations, attacks on news media and attacks on the city's infrastructure.
In another operation, coalition forces detained 11 suspected terrorists southwest of Baghdad targeting al Qaeda leadership. One of the individuals detained is allegedly a close associate of a Libyan who facilitates the movement of foreign fighters in the area.
The operation, which involved 2,000 U.S. troops over the last several days, took place as Iraqi security forces said they would soon begin a large operation against militants in southern Baghdad's Al-Doura district, the Kuwait News Agency, KUNA reported.
