TIKRIT, Iraq – Three men and two women were detained in Mosul Wednesday in two separate searches.
Task Force Band of Brothers Soldiers from the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team detained two men during a raid on a suspected terrorist house Wednesday morning. The raid uncovered weapons and Al Qaeda propaganda.
Another 172nd SBCT patrol detained a man as he attempted to flee from an Iraqi Army patrol. The Soldiers searched the man’s home and his two sisters’ adjacent home, where they discovered a cache of artillery shells and a propane tank rigged to explode.
The explosives were taken to a nearby field and safely destroyed by an explosive ordnance disposal team.
