The TF Liberty combat patrol was investigating the suspected point
of origin of the attack when it detained five people in a vehicle.

terrorists firing mortars, a pamphlet on firing mortars, and mortar
and rocket firing data. Two others were detained near the Coalition
Forces base and are suspected of observing the impact of the rocket
attack.
"Task Force Liberty Soldiers and our Iraqi partners will
aggressively pursue these terrorists and criminals," said Maj. Gen.

places where attacks come from." The terrorists "captured near
Hawija are just a few among the many that we will kill or capture to
