BALAD, Iraq – Iraqi Security Forces, advised by U.S. Special Forces, detained two suspected extremists and uncovered a large weapons cache in two separate operations Nov. 20 and 21.
In the city of Diwaniyah, an Iraqi Emergency Response Unit detained two alleged members of an extremist group; the suspects are believed to be involved in gathering information for targeting Iraqi and Coalition Forces for ambushes and improvised explosive device attacks.
In another operation, 3rd Iraqi Army Division Soldiers uncovered a large weapons cache during a routine patrol northwest of Tal Afar. The cache included 4,200 pounds of home made explosives, four sets of Iraqi military uniforms, 12 82mm mortar rounds and 10 hand grenades.
In a third operation Nov. 21, 5th Iraqi Army Division and U.S. Forces came under sniper fire while attempting to clear villages in the vicinity of Abu Khamis of al-Qaeda in Iraq terrorists.
Iraqi and U.S. Forces responded to the attack, killing two terrorists.
In the course of the operation, three Iraqi Soldiers were injured.
