Al-Qaeda bombing, propaganda networks degraded

BAGHDAD – Coalition forces detained 16 suspected terrorists during operations targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq bombing and propaganda networks Thursday and Friday in the central and northern parts of the country.

An alleged weapons facilitator in Mosul is in Coalition custody after forces captured him and six additional suspects Friday. The wanted man allegedly stores explosives for AQI attacks and delivers weapons to foreign terrorists and suicide bombers. He is also assessed to have ties to AQI senior leaders in Mosul.

Coalition forces captured a wanted man and three additional suspects Friday in Bayji, about 160 km south of Mosul. The wanted man is suspected of directly conspiring with AQI leaders to plan an attack using poison.

In Al Suwayrah, about 50 km south of Baghdad, Coalition forces detained one suspect Friday while targeting a man involved in the AQI propaganda network. An operation Thursday in Mosul targeted the same network, and netted four suspected terrorists.
