Suspects detained after attack
Multi-National Force-Iraq
TIKRIT, Iraq – Five suspected terrorists were captured by Iraqi and U.S. Soldiers late Nov. 12 after a mortar attack against an Iraqi Army officer’s home near Baqubah.
The troops responding to the attack came under small-arms fire as they approached the area and called for air support. The combination of boots on the ground and aircraft overhead quickly overwhelmed the terrorists, leading to their capture.
The terrorists fired nearly a dozen mortars at the house but were unsuccessful at hitting the structure.
