Multi-National Division – Baghdad PAO
BAGHDAD – Multi-National Division – Baghdad troops arrested a suspected terrorist bomb-maker and two financiers and found two improvised explosive devices in the Iraqi capital’s Rashid district Nov. 30.
Scouts from Apache Troop, 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment “Raiders,” 4th “Dragon” Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, received a tip from an area resident that a maker of roadside bombs was operating out of a house in Doura neighborhood. The unit arrested the suspect without incident. The suspect is being held for questioning.
Later in the day, Soldiers from “Destroyer” Company, 2nd Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment “Warriors,” detained a pair of suspected financiers involved with al-Qaeda in a north Doura neighborhood. Both suspects are being held for questioning.
“Dragon Soldiers are continuing to keep the pressure on terrorists and insurgents each day,” said Maj. Kirk Luedeke, spokesperson and public affairs officer with the 4th IBCT. “A significant reason for our success is the continued cooperation of Iraqi civilians who help us find these criminals and bring them to justice. These people are taking an active role in securing their neighborhoods.”
Soldiers with Apache and Bandit Companies, 4th Battalion, 64th Armor Regiment “Tuskers,” uncovered two roadside bombs, including a buried IED in East and West Rashid. The bombs, consisting of homemade explosives, wiring and other materials were destroyed in place by explosive ordnance disposal teams.
