COALITION FORCES DETAIN AIF TERRORIST
Release Date: 6/28/2006
Release Number: 06-06-02P
Description: BAGHDAD – Coalition forces detained one al-Qaida in Iraq terrorist during a raid in the vicinity of Baqubah June 28.
The al-Qaida terrorist initially targeted had been linked to previous terrorist activities and had ties to senior al-Qaida leaders throughout this region. The ground troops secured his house and detained him without incident.
The force also secured multiple small arms weapons, hidden ammunition, and $4,000 in sequentially numbered U.S. $100 bills at the initial target location.
While securing the initial target, Coalition forces noticed an individual acting suspiciously at a near-by house. They assessed him as an imminent threat, engaged and killed him. He was later determined to be a non-combatant.
Multiple women and children were present at the raid sites. None were harmed and all were returned to their homes once the troops ensured the area was secure.
Coalition forces take every precaution to mitigate risks to civilians while in pursuit of terrorists, and deeply regret any injury or death to non-combatants.
