MOSUL, IRAQ (February 9, 2005) – Iraqi Security Forces killed one insurgent attempting to murder an ISF commander in northern Iraq yesterday.
Iraqi Intervention Forces guarding their Battalion Commander shot and killed an insurgent suicide bomber who was attempting to drive his vehicle, which was rigged to explode, into the commander. No IIF injuries were reported in the incident.
Iraqi Security Forces have stepped up their involvement in security operations and are conducting numerous independent operations. In preparation for the recent elections in Iraq, a great deal of emphasis was placed on security. That security posture was bolstered by increased numbers of ISF and their increased capability to provide security for their country.
Iraqi Security Forces continue to work together with Multi-National Forces from Task Force Freedom, leaders and citizens of Iraq to help build and maintain a prosperous and democratic nation. Anyone with information on anti-Iraqi insurgent minority activities should call the Joint Coordination Center’s telephone numbers at 513462 or 07701623300.
