Nine terrorists detained after attacking Iraqi Army
Multi-National Force-Iraq
TIKRIT, Iraq – An Iraqi security forces patrol came under small arms fire Nov. 1 after an improvised explosive device exploded in Baqubah. 4th Iraqi Army Soldiers prepared to cross a narrow bridge when a nearby IED exploded. Terrorists then attacked the patrol with small arms fire.
The terrorists fled the area after a Coalition Forces air support team was called in to assist the patrol. IA Soldiers were then able to cordon the area and search the village, taking nine insurgents into custody. Seven IA Soldiers were wounded during the intense and complex engagement.
