Coalition Forces killed four foreign terrorist facilitators and detained four other suspected terrorists while conducting operations Sunday southeast of Rutbah.
During the operation, Coalition Forces entered the targeted building and encountered four armed men. Coalition Forces used proper self-defense measures and killed the armed terrorists. Four suspected terrorists surrendered and were detained for questioning. Coalition Forces found three pistols and two AK-47s on the terrorists.
In addition, Coalition Forces found eight women and 23 children inside the building. Ground forces confirmed that none of the civilians were injured during the operation.
Another suspect with ties to al-Qaeda in Iraq was detained in Baquba.
This is another example of foreign terrorist facilitators putting women and children in harms way by hiding and operating among them.
Coalition Forces are making great strides to successfully disrupt foreign fighter activities around Iraq.
