Multi-National Forces capture nine
suspected criminals
MOSUL, Iraq -- Multi-National Force Soldiers from the 1st
Brigade, 25th Infantry Division (Stryker Brigade Combat Team),
detained nine people in northern Iraq Feb. 5.
Soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry Regiment,
detained nine people suspected of terrorist activities during
operations in Ninewah Province. While conducting cordon and search
operations, the 1-5th detained seven people south of Mosul and two
others east of Tal Afar. Suspects are in custody with no
Multi-National Forces injuries reported.
Iraqi Security Force and Multi-National Force
operations in the Ninewa Province and the Mosul area resulted in a
safe election day during which thousands of Iraqi citizens exercised
their right to vote, influenced their future, and proved the
terrorists to be in the minority. Since Jan. 5, Iraqi Security Forces
and Multi-National Forces have detained 444 people and confiscated
numerous weapons and munitions.
