Dismounted Security Patrol Struck by Roadside Bomb
Multi-National Division – Baghdad PAO
BAGHDAD – An improvised explosive device detonated near a dismounted Multi-National Division - Baghdad patrol, killing one Soldier north of the Iraqi capital Dec. 28.
The unit was conducting a dismounted security patrol on a well-traveled route when a roadside bomb exploded near them, killing one Soldier and wounding another.
One day prior to this attack, the unit responded to a tip from a resident in a nearby village. The resident informed the unit that insurgents were seen emplacing a rocket aimed at the main road in the area.
The unit sent a patrol to investigate the area and successfully found the emplaced bomb. Four insurgents responsible for setting up the roadside bomb were found in a nearby house and were detained by the unit. The insurgents are being held for questioning.
The deceased Soldier’s name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
