Suspected Al-Qaeda Bombers Captured
February 07, 2007
Coalition forces escort Iraqi women and children to safety after a morning raid on a suspected terrorist “safe house” in west Taji, Iraq, Feb. 7. Coalition forces detained two suspected al Qaeda-affiliated bombers and also found weapons and materials used to make roadside bombs. The “safe house” was blown up to prevent it from being used by terrorists.
