Release A060428f
Al-Qaida terrorist leader of Samarra killed
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces killed the al-Qaida “Emir” of Samarra, Hamadi ‘Abd al-Tahki al-Nissani, April 28. Based on intelligence reports, they tracked the wanted terrorist and two others to a location approximately 15 kilometers north of Samarra. As the troops assaulted the house where the three men were known to be hiding, Hamadi ‘Abd al-Tahki al-Nissani, who was armed, attempted to flee and was killed by the assault force.

The ground troops also killed the other two armed terrorists inside the house. One of the terrorist, who had grenades strapped around his torso and one in his hand, was killed as he was attempting to throw a grenade.

The troops searched the terrorists’ car, parked next to the house, and found a rocket propelled grenade launcher, multiple rockets, explosives, AK-47s, ammunition, grenades, and one shotgun. All weapons and lethal material were destroyed on-site.

Coalition forces raided another related location resulting in one armed suspect wounded and detained. The troops found one suicide vest located in the front seat of his car along with one AK-47, which the suspect was carrying; the weapon and vest were destroyed. The injured suspect was medically evacuated for further treatment. His current condition is unknown.

There were civilians located at both houses, but none were injured.

Failed terrorist attack leads to capture
TIKRIT, Iraq – Iraqi and coalition forces captured eight terrorists after a failed attack put the terrorists on the run April 27 in Baqubah.

A combined patrol was investigating a possible mortar and rocket launch site used by terrorists when a group of men started firing at them. Soldiers from 2nd Brigade, 5th Iraqi Army Division and 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, quelled the attackers and put them on the run.

The men attempted an escape through a palm grove, but the troops were able to surround and contain the terrorists as artillery and helicopters rained fire into the grove.

Soldiers moved into the grove after the volley of fire and detained eight men identified as the attackers.

Two Iraqi Army Soldiers were injured in the exchange and both were taken to a local hospital.

The detainees were taken to a nearby military detention facility for processing.

Anti-Iraqi Forces camera crew busted
TIKRIT, Iraq – Heads up patrolling and attention to detail aided 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team troops in capturing a pair of anti-Iraqi Forces cameramen in Mosul April 28.

The troops noticed the two men video taping their convoy as they conducted a security patrol in the city. As soon as the Soldiers began to move towards the camera crew, the two individuals scrambled in an attempt to flee. Effective maneuvering allowed the troops to box in the men without incident.

A quick search of the car the AIF were driving yielded two IED initiating devices. The men both claimed they were hired to videotape the activities of coalition forces during patrols in the area.

Both men tested positive for explosives residue and were taken to a coalition detention facility for processing.

Even the pro Islam anti US broadcaster has to admit that Iraqi forces are improving, yes El Beeb has been forced to admit that terrorist scum lost a battle against Iraqi forces: this must stick in dhimmi John Simpsons throat

Now if only this bloated left wing organisation that we have to pay for out of our licence tax would report on the fine work that the troops are doing in Iraq, such as rebuilding schools, aid supplies etc etc, rather than crowing over every car bomb and bleating on about the nation falling apart and America being caught in a new Vietnam.

Nice to see that they have actually reported that story rather than ignoring it as they do with so many of the positive stories from Iraq.
