MND-B Soldiers capture suspected terrorist, high-value Target
Multi-National Division – Baghdad PAO
BAGHDAD – Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 21st Infantry, 2nd Stryker Cavalry
Regiment, Multi-National Division – Baghdad, captured a suspected al-Qaida in
Iraq leader in the Abu Ghuraib region of the Iraqi capitol, Feb. 9.
This suspected AQI operator is believed to be a key facilitator of terrorist
activities in southern Baghdad. He is the regiment's number-one, high-value
target and is being held for questioning.
It is believed the detention of the suspect will significantly contribute to the
continually improving security situation in Abu Ghraib. Due to its proximity to
major highways and northeast Baghdad, security and stability in Abu Ghraib is
significant. Stability allows the economy and quality of life for local residents to
improve and accelerates the improving security situation in the Iraqi capital.
"The detention of this terrorist suspect demonstrates that we continue to
aggressively pursue al-Qaida in Iraq," said Maj. Jon Pendell, spokesperson for
2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment.
