The 1st Brigade, 7th Division of the Iraqi Army raided a factory in Ramadi yesterday and arrested 15 suspected insurgents who were thought to belong to a cell of foreign terrorists.

Eleven of the 15 suspects are Syrian and 4 were Iraqis, according to the U.S. Marine Corps. The operation — which took place at 1 P.M. in Ramadi’s Tameem district — also yielded a cache of AK-47s. No casualties were sustained by Iraqi forces, according to the Marine Corps.
