BAGHDAD – Iraqi Security Forces arrested four suspected Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) criminal associates during a joint security operation approximately 17km north of Baghdad today.

ISF and U.S. advisors searched several buildings for a suspected AQI financier who is allegedly responsible for emplacing improvised explosives devices targeting ISF and coalition forces.

Information and evidence gathered at the scene led Iraqi forces to identify and arrest four AQI criminal associates.

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.
