BAGHDAD – Iraqi police and Multi-National Division – Baghdad’s 1st Battalion, 66th Armor, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division detained four terrorist cell members Sunday afternoon after receiving a call from a concerned citizen, who informed them of an attack planned against the Rashadia police station.
The telephone tip warned that attackers had surrounded the police station; Soldiers from 1st Bn., 66th Armor, 1st BCT responded to the area to provide assistance to Iraqi police.
After exchanging gunfire, the terrorists attempted to escape Iraqi police and MND-B Soldiers pursued them. Four local citizens stopped the fleeing suspects, and the Iraqi police took them into custody.
And this is interesting.
According to information gleaned from the individuals taken into custody, their plan was to attack the police station because they wanted to kill two terrorist leaders they believed were being held there.
So they wouldn't talk maybe? Nice.
