Iraqi counter terrorism forces (ICTF) arrested on Saturday a woman suspected of leading a suicide bomber network operating in Baghdad, the US Army said Sunday.Upon receiving a warrant issued by the Central Investigation Court, the ICTF arrested the suspected leader of a cell responsible for recruiting and preparing females for attacks as suicide bombers, a US Army press release which circulated here today said.
The suspect confirmed her identity after being interrogated and was taken into custody.
[The] head of the special operations task force, Major Seth Krummrich, said "the arrest of the suspect strikes a crippling blow to the female suicide bomber network in Baghdad. The success of this Iraqi-led operation could definitely provide insight and lead to future arrests of senior terrorist leadership," he added. "This is a great representation of what a unified and well synchronized ISOF (Iraqi Special Operations Forces) intelligence and operational organization can accomplish," Krummrich said.
