2nd Brigade Combat Team PAO
BAGHDAD --Two incidents in Rusafa Aug. 28 showed the continuing success of Iraqi Security Forces in their fight against terrorists.
In the first incident, 1st Battalion, 2nd Iraqi Army Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division, captured a terrorist known for making and emplacing roadside bombs, as well as involvement in car bomb operations.
"The Iraqi Army Battalion developed the intelligence on this target," said Capt. Michael Dick, an advisor to the Iraqi Army Battalion. "They planned and executed the operation to detain him and disrupt car bomb operations in Baghdad.
"The performance of the ISF in this operation demonstrates their capability to conduct independent operations," added Dick, who is from Cincinnati.
The terrorist was discovered with remote detonation equipment and other bomb-making paraphernalia.
The second incident involved the discovery of a car bomb before it could be detonated. The car bomb was found by Iraqi Police near a school and was loaded with rockets and anti-tank mines.
"The car bomb would have been devastating to anyone who was nearby," said Staff Sgt. Mark Morse, of Olivia, Minn., and an advisor to the Iraqi Police. "That the terrorists placed the car bomb near a school house shows their absolute disregard for even the most innocent lives."
An Iraqi explosive ordnance disposal team was called to the site of the car bomb and disabled the device before it could be detonated.
