BAGHDAD — U.S. Soldiers captured a suspected militant leader in the New Baghdad security district of eastern Baghdad, June 15.

Soldiers from the 30th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (Light), captured the suspected criminal leader and detained two others during an operation.

The highly sought-after criminal leader is believed to be responsible for explosively formed projectile attacks and supplying EFPs and EFP materials to special groups in New Baghdad and Sadr City.

“Capturing this criminal definitely makes Baghdad streets safer for civilians and security forces alike,” said Maj. Joey Sullinger, a spokesperson for Multi-National Division - Baghdad. “This operation comes on the heels of ensnaring two militant targets in successive days, and is indicative of the dominoes of destruction and disorder beginning to fall.”
