BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi Security Forces arrested nine suspected members of al-Qaeda in Iraq-sponsored vehicle-borne improvised explosive device cells today during two joint security operations in Baghdad and Kirkuk.

ISF and U.S. advisors searched several buildings throughout Baghdad today during a series of operations searching for a suspected AQI leader believed to be responsible for multiple VBIED attacks in the region.

Credible intelligence led the joint security team to several locations across Baghdad in pursuit of the suspected VBIED cell leader.

While conducting an operation in Mansour, a restricted area established by the security team was approached by a vehicle traveling at an excessive speed. The security team attempted to stop the driver using hand signals and verbal warnings. The driver halted briefly before accelerating toward the security team. Security Forces responded using several non-lethal methods to deter the driver from advancing farther.  The driver did not respond and continued toward the restricted area, threatening the safety of security team members and civilians in the area.

Reacting to the apparent threat, a member of the security team fired a single gunshot to disable the vehicle and protect those in the vicinity. The single gunshot stopped the vehicle, and wounded the driver in the hand and leg. The wounded driver received immediate medical attention at the scene and is currently in stable condition at a U.S. medical facility in the area. 

ISF completed the series of operations and arrested eight suspects based on questioning and evidence found at the scene.

During a separate security operation conducted today in southern Kirkuk, the 3rd Emergency Services Unit and U.S. advisors searched two buildings for an alleged member of an AQI proxy organization believed to be constructing VBIEDs.

ISF conducted a preliminary investigation on scene, and questioned those found on the premises. The security team arrested one individual allegedly linked to members of the AQI proxy group.
