Task Force Baghdad Soldiers arrest two terror suspects

Multi-National Force-Iraq

BAGHDAD , Iraq - Task Force Baghdad Soldiers from the 2nd Battalion, 70th Armor Regiment captured two terror suspects after stopping a grey BMW on a major highway in west Baghdad July 12.

The car matched the description of a vehicle used by an anti-Iraqi forces mortar team during an attack July 11.

When the Soldiers searched the car they found almost 2.5 million Iraqi dinar and 27 U.S. $100 bills. Nine of the bills were sequentially numbered. Both of the suspects also had several fake pieces of identification, each with a different name, and multiple passport sized photos.

Traces of explosives were also discovered in the car.
