Coalition forces capture suspected Special Groups criminal
BAGHDAD – Coalition forces captured a suspected Special Groups criminal Tuesday in Suwayrah, about 50 km southeast of Baghdad.
Coalition forces detained an alleged Special Groups leader and explosively formed penetrator expert believed to be responsible for coordinating and directing attacks on Coalition forces in the Wasit province. He is also suspected of sending members of his criminal ring to Iran for paramilitary training. Coalition forces also detained another suspected criminal at the targeted individual’s location.
During the course of the operation, Coalition forces received ineffective small-arms fire, but no injuries were sustained.
“Iraqi Security and Coalition forces continue to remove these criminals from the neighborhoods of Iraq,” said U.S. Army Capt. Charles Calio, MNF-I spokesman.
