US forces kill three suspected Iraqi fighters near Tikrit
U S Army soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division killed three suspected Iraqi paramilitary fighters after a drone spotted them firing mortars from an ammo cache. Apache helicopters then destroyed a dump truck with ammunition and one more cache to prevent theft or linkage to attacks. Additional trucks were abandoned or destroyed as 15 to 20 pickup trucks were spotted, with five larger trucks destroyed. Campell says the action sent a warning that such thefts will not be tolerated. Tikrit has faced mortar fire recently with no injuries reported.
