BAGHDAD, Iraq - Multi-National Division-Baghdad Soldiers remain committed to supporting the people of Baghdad and the Iraqi Security Forces until a time when they can take over security operations throughout Baghdad against al-Qaeda in Iraq and Special Group Criminals.

At 3:30 p.m. on April 20, a Coalition Force observation post in Sadr City was fired upon by three SG criminals and U.S. Soldiers returned fire killing one and wounding the other two.

At 4: 45 p.m., following a rocket attack, a UAV positively identified five SG criminals with rocket rails in Sadr City.  Two criminals proceeded into a vehicle after loading it with the rocket rails. The other three individuals separated and went in other directions.  The UAV followed the vehicle with the two criminals and rocket rails to a house.  As the criminals were unloading the rails into the building, they were engaged by the UAV with one Hellfire missile, destroying the vehicle, rockets rails, and killing the two criminals.

Later, at approximately 4:50 p.m., an unmanned aerial vehicle positively identified two SG criminals loading a car with rockets and rocket rails in Sadr City.  After following the vehicle in order to obtain a clear shot, the UAV fired one Hellfire missile, destroying the sedan, six rockets and rails, and killing the two criminals.

"Iraqi Security and Coalition force Soldiers are targeting criminals who violate the Iraqi Rule of Law," said Col. Allen Batschelet, chief of staff, MND-B.  "Coalition Soldiers are not targeting any political group or organization, but rather working  with the ISF targeting criminals who are engaged in violent acts or about to commit a violent act."

At 5 p.m. there was a 107 mm rocket attack conducted by Iranian-supported SG criminals that landed in the Kadhamiyah district of Baghdad, killing one Iraqi civilian and wounding eight.

Also in Kadhamiyah, an improvised-explosive device detonated in front of a U.S. patrol, killing one Iraqi civilian and wounding three others at 11 a.m.

"It is the Iranian-supported Special Group criminals who are the primary reason the people of Baghdad are suffering," said Batschelet.  "They are responsible for the rocket and mortar attacks that led to Iraqi Security and Coalition force Soldiers going into the southern neighborhoods of Sadr City.  They are responsible for continued IED attacks and firefights that are causing innocent civilian deaths."
