They are more and more handling the situations...
BAGHDAD – Iraqi security forces and multinational forces responded to multiple improvised explosive device attacks in various districts around the city April 20. In one attack around 10 a.m., one infant was killed, and seven local nationals and two Task Force Baghdad Soldiers were wounded after a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device detonated in western Baghdad. Iraqi Police and Iraqi Army Soldiers secured the scene and treated the wounded civilians. The U.S. Soldiers were evacuated to a nearby U.S. treatment facility. A secondary IED was found near the site and a U.S. explosive ordnance disposal team was notified. Another VBIED detonated when a terrorist drove the vehicle into the Al Belat police station near Al Dora around 11:15 a.m. The explosion was followed by small-arms fire. Iraqi Police reported the attack wounded four Iraqis.
Iraqi Army Soldiers cordoned off the area in Dora and fire trucks responded to the explosion at the police station and prevented additional damage. One local national was detained at the site for further questioning. In both cases, Iraqi Police and the Iraqi Army took control of the situation in an expeditious manner. “What you are seeing is a continued attack on the Iraqi Security Forces,” said Col. Ed Cardon, 4th Brigade Combat Team commander. “The suicide bomber today was against a police station but what’s amazing to me is that despite all these attacks, we still have no troubles recruiting policemen and Soldiers to serve in the ISF.” In another IED attack, a Task Force Baghdad convoy was hit around 2:30 p.m., wounding two Soldiers who were evacuated to a medical treatment facility. All incidents are currently under investigation.
Something I want you to notice in this report is that 1 - Iraqi were the vast majority of who was injured or killed. 2 - The Iraqi forces were the ones that took care of the majority of this situation, showing they are beggining to be able to respond and take care of these situations. The Iraqi people are starting to take care of taking care of themselves.
