In other operations, a group of Iraqi citizens living in southwestern Baghdad, weary of violence in their neighborhood, detained a suspected terrorist, then made a phone call to a Task Force Baghdad tips hotline so soldiers could come and get him.
The Iraqis called the U.S. soldiers late in the evening Oct. 8 and a patrol from 3rd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment, arrived within minutes.
When the soldiers got to the scene, the residents handed over a terror suspect the unit had been looking for the night before. The suspect was detained for questioning.
You may not realize it from reading the news, but the insurgents are actually a minority in Iraq.
