Thirteen more suspected al Qaeda operatives were captured during Iraq operations yesterday and today.
“We’re continuing to conduct operations that target specific links in the al Qaeda in Iraq chain, to ultimately destroy the network,” said Maj. Marc Young, a Multinational Force Iraq spokesman.
Coalition forces also conducted a precision raid yesterday near Samarra and captured an alleged foreign terrorist facilitator and logistician suspected of supplying al Qaeda cells with operatives and suicide bombers. After U.S. troops cornered the suspect and two of his associates, the three fled into a nearby house. The troops yelled for the house’s occupants to come out, and several women and children exited the building. The ground forces moved them away from danger, then entered the house, where they detained the three suspected terrorists.
