Small arms fire targets MND-B patrol

BAGHDAD — A Multi-National Division-Baghdad Soldier was killed
during a small arms fire attack while conducting combat operations

Soldiers from this unit continue to work side-by-side with their Iraqi
Army counterparts conducting cordon and search and targeted raid
operations in an effort to disrupt and deny insurgent safe havens in
the area. Numerous suspected insurgents have been detained and
weapons caches found as a result of these successful operations.

The deceased Soldier’s name is being withheld pending notification
of next of kin and release by the Department of Defense.
