Coalition Forces clamp down on al-Qaeda senior leaders

Aug. 13, 2007

BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces conducted synchronized operations in Tikrit and Mosul targeting senior leaders of al-Qaeda in Iraq and detained 17 suspected terrorists Sunday and Monday.

Coalition Forces conducted a cluster of operations in Tikrit Sunday and Monday targeting senior leaders of al-Qaeda in Iraq and their close associates.  The ground forces captured an individual who allegedly aids senior terrorist leaders and provides lodging during their visits to the area.  Coalition Forces detained 14 more suspected terrorists during seven coordinated operations.  During one of the raids, a man and woman received minor injuries when Coalition Forces used explosives to breach a door.  They were treated on site. 

During a related operation in Mosul, Coalition Forces captured a close associate of al-Qaeda in Iraq’s senior leaders and detained one other suspected terrorist. 

“Our operations continue to target all levels of al Qaeda in Iraq’s organization,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson.  “We will continue to put pressure on them and their networks that are hindering progress for all Iraqis.”
