American Forces Press Service

BAGHDAD, May 14, 2009 – Under the cover of night, an element of Iraqi special operations forces recovered a young kidnap victim being held for ransom in the Iraqi capital during an early-morning, Iraqi-led operation yesterday.

Operating under the authority of a warrant issued by Iraq\’s Counter Terrorism Bureau, the Iraqi soldiers recovered the 8-year-old boy and arrested his captors in hopes of disrupting a kidnap-for-ransom cell operating in the Baghdad area.
During the Iraqi and U.S. intelligence-driven mission, the ground troops secured the hostage taker\’s house and questioned the residents suspected of working for the
kidnap cell. After questioning the suspects, the soldiers then moved to the alleged criminal\’s workplace, where they subsequently apprehended him.
