MOSUL, IRAQ (October 21, 2004) –Multi-National Forces from 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division (Stryker Brigade Combat Team) detained one person wanted for anti-Iraqi activities and foiled a roadside bomb attack Wednesday in northern Iraq.

Soldiers from 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment foiled a roadside bomb attack when they noticed a large suspicious barrel near the side of the road in northern Mosul. The U.S. Explosive Ordnance Disposal team destroyed the device with no injuries reported.

Soldiers from the 330th Military Police Detachment detained one person after the individual illegally attempted to drive his vehicle onto a military base in southern Mosul almost running over the guards. The suspect is in custody with no injuries reported during the incident.

Multinational Forces from Task Force Olympia continue to work together with members of Iraqi Security Forces, leaders and citizens of Iraq to make it a safe, prosperous, and democratic nation. Local citizens should cooperate with security forces by providing information that leads to the capture and arrest of anti-Iraqi forces. Anyone with information should call the Joint Coordination Center in Mosul at 125 or 513462.
