ICDC CATCHES COUNTERFEITERS
MOSUL, Iraq - Iraqi Civil Defense Corps soldiers conducted three cordon and search missions in the Qayyarah area April 27, resulting in the detention of two known counterfeiters and the confiscation of counterfeiting material supporting anti-Coalition activities.
This mission was the first independent operation planned and conducted by the ICDC.
The ICDC, with Coalition forces acting as advisers, searched a local photo shop suspected of conducting illegal activities and found several fake identification cards along with computer equipment used to produce them. Two individuals suspected of involvement in the counterfeiting operation were apprehended at their residences. Interrogation of the suspects is ongoing.
Coalition forces continue to assist Iraqi Security Forces in working with the citizens and leaders of Iraq to make it a safe, prosperous, and democratic nation.
