CAMP FALLUJAH, IRAQ
CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq – Coalition Forces engaged several insurgents near an abandoned train station in southeast Ramadi May 16 in response to repeated hostile activity. It was the seventh day since May 7 that Coalition Forces engaged insurgents in the area.
Troops observed several insurgents moving a weapon from the train station to a vehicle nearby. Coalition Forces engaged the insurgents with artillery, killing several insurgents and destroying the weapon. Troops saw one of the insurgents leave the area with the vehicle.
Later in the day, troops observed several more insurgents with weapons taking positions on a rooftop near the train station. Insurgents are known to use the rooftop to conduct sniper attacks. Coalition Forces engaged the building with grenades and an air-delivered munition, killing some of the insurgents.
Troops saw two remaining insurgents flee into another building, and Coalition forces engaged the building with additional air-delivered munitions, killing the remaining insurgents.
Troops later observed insurgents with weapons moving again at the train station. They engaged the insurgents with artillery, killing the insurgents.
Also on May 16, Iraqi Security Forces searched a mosque in Ramadi and Coalition Forces investigated reports of a destroyed Iraqi Police station near Hit.
Iraqi Army Soldiers found 7.62 mm ammunition and a communications device in the northeast Ramadi mosque, which was not damaged during the search.
In Zuwayyah, about 10 kilometers southeast of Hit, Coalition Forces found that an Iraqi Police station’s roof had collapsed and three walls inside the building had been destroyed in an unexplained explosion. The damage had been reported during a meeting between troops and local civilians.
There were no reports of Coalition or civilian casualties as a result of these incidents.
