Via MNF-Iraq: BAQOUBA, Iraq – Iraqi Army and Coalition Forces, using tips from local citizens, targeted al-Qaida operatives outside Diyala’s provincial capital July 11, in a continued effort to deny any safe-haven to the terrorist group.There is some video of hostages that al-Qaeda held from this operation. In the video, al-Qaeda guards flee a safehouse. Upon entering the safehouse, US forces find three prisoners --- one has obviously been tortured. One of the marks is shaped rather like an iron. As you may recall, one of the methods in al-Qaeda's torture manual is to burn hostages with a hot iron.
Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 5th Iraqi Army Division, and 5th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, conducted Operation Ithaca, targeting al-Qaida operatives near the villages of Haimer, Abu Nasim, and Jamil, Iraq, resulting in 29 al-Qaida gunmen killed, 23 detained, eight hostages released, two weapons caches discovered and a safe house destroyed.

The man then turns around and his back is completely covered with bruises.

More images and video below the fold.

An al-Qaida safe house was also identified with gunmen moving in and out of the building. 25th CAB attack helicopters engaged and killed the gunmen fleeing the area along canals and palm groves, and helped destroy the safe house with Hellfire missiles.

Soldiers enter.
