A platoon from Bravo Troop, 3rd Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division was conducting a patrol outside the city of Mosul in accordance with the Iraqi Security Agreement.
The platoon identified the four men digging a hole to emplace an explosive device alongside a major roadway 18 miles south of Mosul.
As the platoon drew closer to investigate, the four men started firing small-arms weapons and throwing hand grenades at the Soldiers.
The platoon returned fire and killed the four violent extremists.
