Foreign fighter safehouse destroyed

BAGHDAD , Iraq -- Elements from Multi-National Forces detained three foreign fighters and killed two others during a raid on a foreign fighter safehouse in the Karabilah area Sept. 6.

Upon arrival at the location, Multi-National Forces were engaged by the foreign fighters occupying the safe house. Multi-National Forces personnel returned fire and assaulted the building, suffering one friendly casualty when a Multi-National Force Soldier was wounded.

After evacuating the wounded personnel to a local field hospital, Multi-National Forces called in Coalition close air support and destroyed the foreign fighter safe house which was being used as an operational headquarters.

CAMP BLUE DIAMOND, AR RAMADI, Iraq -- At approximately 12:35 a.m. Sept. 6 Coalition Forces conducted a limited air strike on small bridges known to be used by terrorists to move foreign fighters and equipment across the Euphrates River Valley to the larger cities of central Iraq .

The two targets were conventional bridges capable of handling light vehicle traffic and were located in the western Al Anbar province near Karabilah. The purpose of the strike was to prevent Al Qaeda in Iraq terrorists from using the structure for vehicular traffic to conduct attacks in the Al Anbar province. Iraqi citizens in Western Al Anbar have experienced an increased level of violence at the hands of Al Qaeda in Iraq terrorists.

The munitions used in the strike were designed to crater the bridges, rendering them inoperable but not destroying them.

USMC F/A – 18D's disabled the bridge using inert bombs filled with concrete. Initial bomb damage assessment indicates the strikes were successful.

The air strike was conducted at a time and in such a manner to reduce the chance for any collateral damage.
