This doesn't seem like the same emir mentioned elsewhere, but I'm not positive. Hard to keep them all straight, they're as common as cockroaches in New Orleans.
ISOF DETAIN SUSPECTED AL-QAEDA EMIR
In a separate operation Aug. 5, Iraqi Special Operations Forces, with U.S. Special Forces acting as advisors, detained a suspected al-Qaeda emir in Radwaniyah.
The alleged Sunni extremist commander is believed responsible for conducting attacks against Coalition Forces and Iraqi Security Forces southwest of Baghdad. Another suspected extremist was also detained. Both individuals are currently being held for questioning and further investigation.
No U.S. or Iraqi Forces were harmed in either operation. |
