MOSUL, IRAQ (July 5, 2005) – Multi-National Forces from 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division (Stryker Brigade Combat Team) were able to defuse an improvised explosive device thanks to an Iraqi citizen’s tip during an operation in northern Iraq today.

A call-in tip by an Iraqi citizen to the Joint Coordination Center led Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment to discover an IED hanging from a highway overpass in western Mosul. The 1-24th Soldiers had the IED defused with no injuries being reported during the operation.

Concerned Iraqi citizens continue to provide valuable information leading to the detention of terrorists. Coordinated efforts of Iraqi Security Forces are leading to the arrest of terrorists and criminals responsible for attacks against innocent Iraqi citizens. Anyone with information on anti-Iraqi insurgent activities should call the Joint Coordination Center’s telephone numbers at 513462 or 07701623300.
