Release A050905a
Seven terrorists killed firing from mosque in eastern Tall Afar
TALL AFAR, Iraq - Seven terrorists operating from within a mosque described as a Takfirist meeting place in the Sarai District of Tall Afar were killed Sept. 4 after they engaged Iraqi and Coalition troops with heavy machine guns and RPGs.
The Iraqi and U.S. forces that were taking the enemy fire were unable to suppress the barrage of machine gun and RPG fire so they requested the assistance of Coalition helicopters. The aircraft were able to quickly identify and fire on the terrorists, immediately stopping the enemy salvo.
There were no reported US injuries as a result of the enemy fire.
Combined security operations in the city involving the 3rd Iraqi Army Division and the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment are aimed at removing the enemy.
