IED emplacers killed in Mosul
Multi-National Division – North PAO
MOSUL, Iraq – Coalition force members engaged and killed anti-Iraqi forces who were in the act of emplacing an improvised explosive device Monday.
Coalition force members observed two males digging a hole, placing munitions in the hole, and laying wire next to a main road in southeast Mosul.
Coalition helicopters immediately responded and engaged the emplacers with rocket fire. Both AIF were killed before they could detonate their roadside bomb. There were no friendly casualties or damage sustained.
This is the second incident in four days where AIF were caught or killed in the act of employing a roadside bomb against the Iraqi Security Forces, Coalition troops, and the innocent civilians of Mosul.
AIF= All Insurgents F**ked
