.Iraqi Army Brigade unilateral operation nets al-Qaeda in Iraq, sizeable cache
KIRKUK, Iraq – The 15th Iraqi Army Brigade detained 12 enemy personnel during an intelligence-driven operation in Hafriyah, southeast of Kirkuk, Iraq, March 31.
During an IA brigade unilateral operation, Iraqi Army soldiers conducted a cordon and search to capture or kill the Al Qaeda in Iraq cell responsible for the March 23 attack on 3rd Battalion, 15th Iraqi Army Brigade, 4th Iraqi Army Division.
The 15th Iraqi Army Brigade also discovered a cache during the operation that contained 400 30mm rounds, 83 57mm rockets, seven propane tanks, six blocks of C-4, 25 250-pound bombs and five 130mm projectiles as well as numerous small arms weapons and bomb-making materials.
“The safety of the Iraqi people depends on how fast CF and IA find these caches and thus far they have proven very efficient and effective at doing so,” said Maj. Dan Meyers, a U.S. military spokesman in northern Iraq.
