Soldiers from 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment, detained four individuals suspected of terrorist activity during a cordon-and-search operation in northern Mosul.

Soldiers from the same unit seized another weapons cache in western Mosul consisting of a one 60 mm mortar, several rifles including AK-47s assault rifled, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, RPGs, RPG fuel rods, a box of grenades and ammunition.

Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment, detained two individuals suspected of terrorist activity and seized a cache of homemade bomb-making materials during a raid in northern Mosul.

Troops confiscated the caches for future destruction.

Soldiers from 2nd Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, detained five individuals suspected of terrorist activity during separate operations, four of them in Tal Afar.

I'm reprinting these stories on the off chance that our loyal, unbiased, non-partisan mainstream media completely ignore them.
