Iraqi Security Forces thwart
kidnapping
MOSUL, Iraq -- Iraqi Security Forces detained two people suspected
of kidnapping the brother of the Mosul chief of police in northern
Iraq Feb. 5.
Soldiers from the 102nd Iraqi Army Battalion were working a checkpoint
north of Al Hawd when they discovered Abdullah Mohammed Khalif Al-Jaburi,
brother of the Mosul chief of police, in the truck of a vehicle being
searched. The two people in the vehicle were detained and Khalif was
returned to Mosul. Suspects are in custody with no ISF injuries
reported.
Iraqi Security Forces have stepped up their involvement in security
operations and are conducting numerous independent operations. In
preparation for the elections in Iraq, a great deal of emphasis was
placed on security. That security posture was bolstered by increased
numbers of ISF and their increased capability to provide security for
their country.
