(TFF Press Release)
MOSUL, IRAQ (March 2, 2005) – Multi-National Forces detained one suspected insurgent, killed two and injured another insurgent during operations in northern Iraq today.
Multi-National Force Soldiers killed two insurgents and injured another during an ambush in northern Mosul. The insurgents had previously conducted rocket propelled grenade attacks against Security Forces. No MNF injuries were reported during the operation.
Multi-National Force Soldiers detained one individual suspected of insurgent activity after an Iraqi citizen informed them that the individual was a possible insurgent. The suspect is in custody with no MNF injuries reported.
Commanders on the ground attribute the success of ISF and MNF operations to the increase in information being provided by Iraqi citizens about insurgent activity, the increase in effectiveness of ISF, and the increase in their operations.
Iraqi Security Forces and Multi-National Forces continue operations to protect the rights of Iraqi citizens to live free of fear and intimidation from terrorists. Anyone with information on anti-Iraqi insurgent minority activities should call the Joint Coordination Center’s telephone numbers at 513462 or 07701623300.
