Multi-National Division – Baghdad forces captured a suspected extremist in the southern portion of the capital during a raid in the early morning hours of Jan. 3.

The 1st Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division received word from the 2nd Battalion, 32nd Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Inf. Div. that one of their targets was in the “Black Lions” area of operations.

Company A, 1-28 Inf. raided a house in the western area of the Rashid District after receiving reliable information to the suspect’s whereabouts.

In addition to capturing the suspected insurgent, “Attack” Company detained another individual who was in the house.

“This is a strong example of cooperation between units to identify an individual who we believe has been conducting extremist actions outside of our operational area,” said Maj. Kirk Luedeke, Task Force Dragon spokesman.
