Iraq

Iraqi forces captured seven Special Groups operatives in central Iraq and found a key al Qaeda leader in a prison in Basrah. Coalition forces killed two al Qaeda fighters and detained nine during raids throughout Iraq. Two Iraqis were killed and four were wounded during a clash between Awakening fighters and an armed group in Dalouiya.
