BAGHDAD -- Task Force Baghdad aviation and ground forces combined efforts to defeat terrorists in south Baghdad Oct. 9.

Blackhawk helicopters, assigned to 4th Battalion, 3rd Aviation Regiment (Assault Helicopter), and Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 184th Infantry Regiment flew to the area for cordon-and-search missions of more than 30 houses.

One terrorist was killed and 15 others were detained during the combat operations.

The mission was focused on capturing terrorists believed to be responsible for improvised explosive device attacks last month.
