BAGHDAD – Iraqi army soldiers and an Iraqi citizen prevented an attempted kidnapping and a bombing attempt in separate incidents Saturday near Baghdad.
Iraqi army soldiers from 2nd Brigade, 9th Iraqi Army Division, staffing a checkpoint near a Taji marketplace, thwarted a kidnapping attempt at approximately 11:15 a.m.
A vehicle pulled into the market, began firing and attempted to kidnap market workers. The IA soldiers engaged the terrorists, who then fled on foot.
In another incident in Rusafa, after having dropped off two passengers, a taxi driver found a plastic bag in the back seat of his taxi. Inside the bag, the driver found an anti-armor mine with wires attached. He then cut the wires and called the Iraqi police.
Iraqi police disarmed the bomb and removed it from the area.
There were no injuries or damages in either incident.
