Five terrorists detained

Multi-National Force-Iraq

BAYJI, Iraq – A Task Force Band of Brothers patrol detained five terrorists after witnessing two of them attempting to detonate an improvised explosive device near Bayji early on the night of Nov. 9.

Soldiers from the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division were patrolling west of Bayji when they identified two enemy personnel engaged in suspicious activity and pursued them to a local residence. Once inside, the Soldiers discovered weapons and over $6,000 in U.S. currency.

Earlier in the day a coalition patrol in the same area was attacked by an IED. No Soldiers were injured in that attack.
