MND-B unit targeted by small arms fire attack

Multi-National Division – Baghdad PAO

BAGHDAD – A Multi-National Division-Baghdad Soldier was killed during a small arms fire attack while conducting combat operations in a southern section of the Iraqi capital Oct. 4. Soldiers in this unit continue to conduct aggressive attack operations in order to deny and disrupt Al-Qaeda terrorist cells from using this area as a support zone.

Such operations help reduce al-Qaeda’s influence on the local populace and the overall threat of improvised explosive devices along main routes.

The deceased Soldier’s name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin and release by the Department of Defense
