(TFF Press Release)
MOSUL, IRAQ (May 26, 2005) – An innocent Iraqi child was killed during a terrorist attack in northern Iraq Wednesday.
Soldiers from the 2nd Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment came under attack during operations in Tall Afar. When Multi-National Forces engaged the terrorists the terrorists used Iraqi children as shields. One child was killed as a result of their action.
Terrorist actions like this are becoming more frequent and reckless, with terrorists continually disregarding the safety of innocent Iraqi civilians. Unfortunately, Iraqi children have not been immune to these vicious tactics.
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.
