Iraqi Army and coalition soldiers on a mounted security patrol conducted a cordon-and-search operation targeting several homes in Haditha to photograph insurgent activities Aug. 18, according to another multinational forces report.
Soldiers with the 7th Iraqi Army Division and 3rd Battalion, 25th U.S. Marines Regiment, photographed the targeted residences and eventually raided one of the homes, capturing six suspected anti-Iraq force operatives. All six male suspects claimed to be the sons of the homeowner, whom is currently in custody for allegedly being involved in an Aug. 1 ambush. The targeted house is located roughly one kilometer southeast of the ambush location.
Soldiers confiscated five AK-47 automatic rifles, one light machine gun, a gas mask and anti-coalition propaganda. Outside the house, Marines found a taxi with traces of blood on the right rear door, and a bottle containing 20 Dragonov sniper rounds.
