Coalition forces in Baghdad successfully targeted al-Qaeda in Iraq again yesterday, detaining 18 suspected terrorists and destroying a cache of weapons and bomb-making materials.
The soldiers were operating from information gleaned from a May 21 operation. During that operations, the forces detained five individuals with suspected ties to the al-Qaeda network. One individual said he had attended an IED-making class in a building nearby.
The coalition forces moved on to that building yesterday and found a cache of weapons, explosives and improvised explosive device-making materials. The cache contained three fully assembled IEDs, two artillery rounds, multiple IED triggers, eight rifles and assorted IED components.
