BAGHDAD – Four insurgents have been killed and 62 detained at the start of Operation Marne Torch's fourth day in southeast Baghdad.
Ten caches have been seized, 17 boats destroyed, and five improvised explosive devices have been found.
The operation's purpose is to clear insurgents from safe havens.
Phase one of Marne Torch began in mid-May and focused on intelligence gathering and shaping the conditions for offensive operations.
Marne Torch is named for the historic 1942 British-American invasion of French North Africa in World War II. Soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division fought alongside British comrades, and gave the Allies substantial beachheads in North Africa.
