ASH SHURA, Iraq – A suspected terrorist turned himself in yesterday at the Ash Shura combat outpost (COP). Well known for setting IEDs along main roads used by Coalition and Iraq forces, the individual was encouraged by his relatives to turn himself into authorities.

Several days ago, a source notified Task Force (TF) Automatic of this terrorist. Coalition and Iraqi forces immediately searched his home but he was not there. His Uncle falsely reported he was in Baghdad.

Later that same week, however, due to the encouragement of family and neighbors, the individual turned himself in at the Ash Shura COP. He is now in TF Automatic’s custody on Q-West.

1/D/52 Infantry, led by First Lt. Drew Godwin and Staff Sergeant Jose Delgato, was the platoon that occupied COP Ash Shura during capture.
