    KALSU, Iraq - Maj. Gen. Qais Hamza Al-Mamori, Iraqi police chief for the Babil Province, negotiated the release of a female prisoner who was detained by coalition forces for allegedly helping to place improvised explosive devices.

    Qais requested that the detainee be turned over to IP custody so she could be released in accordance with Iraqi law.

    The woman was detained by the Soldiers of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division Oct. 30, when an IED was found near her house and the detonation wire led to an area on her property near the home.

    Upon investigation, Iraqi Army troops and Soldiers from the 2nd Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment found wire matching the IED's detonation wire and other IED materials in her home.

    With Qais and the Iraqi government asserting control over the province and establishing security of the area, coalition forces released the woman into his custody.

    Working together, the IP's and coalition forces are establishing a cohesive working relationship to help build the foundations of a secure province.
