29 September, Tikrit Over 200 Iraqi Police, Commanded by GEN Hammid Nasim Abdoullah, deputy provincial police chief, supported by members of the 720th MP Battalion, and elements of Task Force Iron Horse, conducted a joint operation within the city, once the home town of Sadam Hussein. The target of the operation was designed to break the back of the Fedayeen believed to be directly responsible for firing rocket-propelled grenades at U.S. convoys along a stretch of roadway in central Tikrit known as "RPG alley." They were also thought to be the men who have detonated scores of homemade bombs along that road and the main highway running through Tikrit that connects Baghdad with the northern part of the country. Although only four people were detained in the simultaneous raids against 15 houses in downtown Tikrit, LTC David Poirier, Battalion Commander, classified the operation as a success because Iraqi police had led the raids. |
