MOSUL, IRAQ (May 19, 2005) – Iraqi Security Forces and Multi-National Forces from 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division (Stryker Brigade Combat Team) responded to a tip from Iraqi children concerning a roadside bomb in northern Mosul today.

Commandos from the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Brigade Iraqi Police and soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment received a tip from several Iraqi children that a large improvised explosive device was placed in the median of a road between two schools. The IED was defused with no Iraqi civilians, ISF or MNF injuries reported.

Iraqi civilians of all ages are taking action against terrorists in their community and their efforts continue toward ensuring a safer environment for the citizens. Iraqi Security Forces and Multi-National Forces continue to round up terrorists and their destructive weapons so that citizens can live a terror free and peaceful existence.

Coordinated efforts between Iraqi Security Forces, Multi-National Forces and concerned citizens who provide tips for Security Forces have resulted in a trend toward improved security. Anyone with information on anti-Iraqi insurgent activities should call the Joint Coordination Center’s telephone numbers at 513462 or 07701623300.
