12 suspected Al Qaeda terrorists detained

BAGHDAD, Iraq –
Coalition Forces detained 12 suspected terrorists during raids Saturday morning targeting foreign fighter facilitators and the al-Qaeda in Iraq network.

In Fallujah, Coalition Forces detained three suspected terrorists with alleged ties to a foreign fighter facilitation cell.  Intelligence reports indicated the suspected terrorists were associated with senior-level foreign fighter facilitators in the local area.

Coalition Forces captured the suspected leader of an al-Qaeda in Iraq cell in Mosul.  The al-Qaeda cell in Mosul reportedly facilitates financial transactions in Iraq and neighboring countries.  Four others were detained during the raid.

Another raid in Mosul netted a suspected terrorist with financial ties to al-Qaeda in Iraq.  During the raid Coalition Forces discovered a large amount of Egyptian and Syrian money and false passports and identification cards.

North of Amiriyah, three suspected terrorists were detained including the alleged leader of a local vehicle-borne improvised explosive device cell.

“Successful Coalition operations continue to disrupt al-Qaida in Iraq operations, restrict the flow of foreign fighters and reduce the terrorist organization’s ability to finance terrorist operations,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson.

Insurgents use mosque as detonation site and school as firing range
Multi-National Force-West PAO

Camp Fallujah, Iraq - Iraqi Police encountered an improvised explosive device with
detonation wires leading into a mosque compound and while cordoning off the area
around the roadside bomb, discovered a school nearby being used as a terrorist training
facility in Ramadi early Feb. 23.

Soldiers from the U.S Army Raider Brigade Combat Team from Fort. Stewart, Ga
and Iraqi Police were on a route clearing mission in southern Ramadi when an IED was
spotted. Coalition force members established a security perimeter while Iraqi Police entered the
mosque compound.

Despite the fact that Friday is the traditional day of worship in Islam, Iraqi Police
officers found the mosque and the surrounding compound deserted. The IED was
disabled and nothing else was discovered in the compound.

Meanwhile, a local Iraqi citizen approached Coalition Forces establishing the
outer security cordon around the compound and informed them the school across the
street was being used as a terrorist training facility.

A search of the abandoned school revealed an indoor rifle range and signs of
recent use. Spent rounds, silhouette targets and a coalition force Kevlar helmet with
multiple rounds through it were discovered in the abandoned school. Classrooms in the
school appear to have also been used for planning and training others to carry out
attacks on Iraqi Security and Coalition force members.

Coalition force members and Iraqi Army and Police units regularly conduct route
clearance missions in Ramadi and throughout Al Anbar to find and clear roadside
bombs before they can be used in an attack on Iraqi civilians, local security forces or
Coalition force memebers.
