MOSUL, IRAQ (Apr. 21, 2004) – Soldiers from 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division (Stryker Brigade Combat Team) detained seven people wanted for anti-Coalition activities and collected a variety of weapons and munitions Tuesday in northern Iraq.

Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment conducted three cordon and searches in Hammam Al Alil and detained four people wanted for planning and conducting attacks against Coalition forces.

A resident of Mosul came to soldiers of 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment and led them to a weapons cache just east of Al Arabe neighborhood which consisted of one rocket propelled grenade, one 60mm mortar round and four hand grenades. All the weapons and munitions were destroyed.

Three counterfeiters were arrested north of Mosul and $9,800 counterfeit U.S. dollars was seized by Soldiers of 1st Battalion, 37th Field Artillery Regiment.
