BAGHDAD, Iraq - Coalition forces detained five suspected terrorists during operations Sunday targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq in two of the country's largest cities.
Coalition forces captured a wanted man and one additional suspect during an operation just south of Baghdad. The wanted man reportedly has ties to senior terrorist leaders in the northern belt around the city, and his network includes attack cells in the Abu Ghraib area.
In the city, Coalition forces detained two suspects while targeting the remaining members of Baghdad's AQI car-bombing network.
In Mosul, Coalition forces detained one suspected terrorist during an operation focused on a liaison between AQI's propaganda, bombing and foreign terrorist networks.
