Iraqi Army Prevent Terror Attacks
In the past few weeks, Iraqi Army troops have prevented sectarian terrorist attacks and rounded up 27 suspected terrorists and their cell leaders.
In late September, soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 8th Iraqi Army Division prevented a large-scale sectarian attack in Iraq's Obiedi region, south of Baghdad. After receiving reports that local residents had been driven out of their homes by terror cell members, Iraqi soldiers from 2nd and 3rd Brigade conducted a cordon-and-search operation in the eastern section of the Obiedi region. Eight suspects were detained for questioning.
