| MULTI-NATIONAL FORCE-IRAQ Coalition forces capture Iranian-backed Special Groups facilitator, detain seven suspects BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces captured a suspected Iranian-backed Special Groups finance facilitator and detained six other suspected criminals early Sunday in the Suwayrah area, south of Baghdad. Intelligence led ground forces to the target area where they captured the wanted individual and the six other suspected criminals without incident. During the operation, Coalition forces also discovered large amounts of American currency. “There has been substantial progress in the fight for a stable Iraq, but there is still much work to be done,” said Navy Capt. Vic Beck, MNF-I spokesman. “We welcome al-Sayyid Muqtada al-Sadr’s extended cease fire pledge, and we will work with those who honor it to ensure security in their neighborhoods.” |
