BAGHDAD -- Task Force Baghdad Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 9th Field Artillery, following a tip from an Iraqi citizen, detained four suspected terrorists during a raid Nov. 5 in east Baghdad.
The four suspects are thought to be part of a ring with ties to foreign terrorist groups planning attacks against Coalition Forces.
No shots were fired in the operation and there were no casualties.
The detainees have been processed into the Iraqi judicial system.
The Iraqi informant went along on the mission to positively identify the correct house for the search.
"There was resistance at the house. The suspects attempted to flee but we handled it well. We did not have to fire our weapons, but we did have to tackle one guy who was trying to escape," said 1st Lt. Clem Gover, a platoon leader in B Battery.
"(Gover) played football in college, and he has trained us well on how to tackle the bad guys without injuring them or us," said Staff Sgt. Pedrus Helgenberger, the patrol's non-commissioned officer in charge.
