Iraqi security forces arrest three suspected al-Qaeda in Iraq members
January 11th, 2010 - 9:27 pm ICT by BNO NewsBAGHDAD (BNO NEWS) — Iraqi Security Forces, assisted by U.S. advisors, arrested three wanted al-Qaeda in Iraq members during two joint security operations in Baghdad and northern Iraq on Monday, the U.S. military said.
In northwest Baghdad, Iraqi security forces (ISF) and U.S. advisors searched a residential building for a suspected female terrorist. The woman is believed to be actively recruiting female suicide bombers for use in “high profile, AQI-sponsored” attacks against government officials and civilians.
“Based on preliminary questioning and evidence found on the premises, ISF identified and arrested the wanted female terrorist and a suspected AQI associate without incident,” the U.S. military said.
During a second security operation in Esaiwid, located northeast of Baghdad, the 3rd Emergency Response Unit and U.S. advisors searched two buildings for a member of a Kirkuk-based improvised explosive device (IED) cell, who is suspected of provides a safe haven to cell leaders who are running from Iraqi Security Forces.
The suspected al-Qaeda in Iraq member was taken into custody without incident.
Both security operations were conducted based on warrants issued by Iraqi courts.
