WASHINGTON, Feb. 29, 2004 – Although it was apparent the Iraqi General Council would miss the U.S.-suggested deadline to establish an interim constitution, IGC member Mawaffak Rubaie asserted late Feb. 28 that the signing of the document is imminent, noting, "Failure is not an option."

This article mentions the SBCT, excerpt below.

Meanwhile, U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq rounded up more anti-coalition suspects during Feb. 28 operations in northern Iraq. Task Force Olympia soldiers from 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division captured people and recovered weapons and other explosives.

In Hammam al-Alil, 5th Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment soldiers detained one person suspected of selling weapons and participating in attacks on Iraqi police.

During that operation an enemy grenade exploded, wounding one U.S. soldier. Soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment conducted a cordon-and- search operation in Mosul and detained one suspect.

Citizens in northwestern Iraq approached 1st Squadron, 14th Cavalry Regiment at Sinjar and turned in 143 rocket-propelled-grenade rockets, 60 RPG boosters, two RPG launchers, three hand grenades, 70 122 mm artillery rounds, two 125 mm rounds and 1,362 14.5 mm rounds. And an Iraqi citizen used a hotline to report the location of two RPG rockets in Mosul, which were subsequently picked up by soldiers from 1st Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment.
