The individuals detained during the raid are believed to be members of the secret cell terrorist network known for facilitating the transport of weapons and explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs, from Iran to Iraq, as well as bringing militants from Iraq to Iran for terrorist training, the Multi-National Force Iraq (MNF-I) said in a statement.
Among those detained during the raids in northeast Baghdad was a suspected terrorist cell leader.
Intelligence reports indicate that the suspected terrorist cell leader detained during the morning raids is associated with the operational and logistic elements of the secret cell terrorist network. He is also believed to be involved in the procurement and distribution of small arms, the MNF-I said.
