Iraqi Army Scouts capture suspected insurgent cell leader in Kirkuk

BALAD, IRAQ — 4th Iraqi Army Division Scouts, advised by U.S. Special Forces, detained one suspected insurgent cell leader in an operation in Kirkuk province.
The 4th Iraqi Army conducted the operation to capture the cell leader and disrupt the activities of an insurgent network operating in the area.
One other suspect was detained for further questioning with the terror cell leader. It’s believed the cell leader may have conducted improvised explosive device and small arms fire attacks against Iraqi and Coalition forces, and may also have been a weapons trafficker in the Hawijah area who terrorizes Iraqi citizens prior to his capture.
Detention of these two individuals will likely affect the ability of insurgents to conduct attacks against Iraqi and Coalition forces in Kirkuk province and will possibly lead to the detention of additional members of this cell.
