Safe house raided, two terrorists detained, one killed
Multi-National Force-Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces captured two terrorists and killed another during a raid on an Ansar al Sunna safe house in the village of Rashidiyah, near Mosul Nov. 9.
Acting on multiple intelligence sources and tips from concerned citizens, Coalition Forces raided the terrorist safe house, which apparently was used as an operational base for the chief administrative and financial officer for the terrorist group Ansar al Sunna in Mosul. This senior terrorist has been directly linked to other high level terrorists in the Mosul area. In addition, he was reported to have coordinated terrorist attacks and other functions between the two major terrorist groups in Mosul, al Qaeda in Iraq and Ansar al Sunna.
As Coalition Forces converged on the safe house, they were fired on by one armed terrorist. Coalition Forces returned fire, killing the terrorist. Coalition Forces then entered the house and captured the other two.
