BAGHDAD – Iraqi Security Forces arrested a suspected Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) member and one criminal associate during a joint security operation conducted in east Mosul today.

ISF and U.S. advisors searched a building for the suspected AQI member who is allegedly acting as a courier for the terrorist organization, and has ties to senior-level terrorist extortion leaders in northern Iraq.

Information and evidence gathered at the scene led Iraqi forces to identify and arrest the warranted individual and one criminal associate.

All joint operations are pursuant to a warrant issued by an Iraqi judge.

Iraqi and U.S. advisors conduct joint operations in accordance with the Security Agreement and in coordination with the Iraqi government to target terrorists seeking to disrupt the security and stability of Iraq.
