A local national's tip led to the arrest of three terrorists August 3, south of Baghdad and in a separate incident two terrorists were killed while emplacing a roadside bomb.

While conducting an area reconnaissance mission, soldiers from 3rd Battalion, 4th Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division, along with Multi-National Division - Baghdad Soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, were approached by an Iraqi citizen claiming terrorists killed his two sons and was willing to take the troops to homes in the area known by local residents to harbor terrorists.

The patrol continued their recon mission with the Iraqi citizen who identified the three suspected murderers.

The unit checked the names and obtained two sworn statements against the three suspects and detained the individuals for further questioning.

In a separate incident, 1st Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment Scouts observed three terrorists emplacing a roadside bomb in south Baghdad August 3.
