BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraqi Police coordinated with Coalition Forces to foil two terrorist attempts to use vehicle-carried improvised explosive devices against Iraqi citizens Jan 2.

While on patrol, police officers identified a suspicious vehicle while operating in western Rashid at approximately 4 p.m. Jan. 1, and notified a Coalition Force patrol.

The patrol conducted an investigation. Shortly afterward, an explosive ordnance disposal team responded to the vehicle-carried improvised explosive device. The team conducted a controlled detonation and determined the vehicle was carrying four 130-millimeter rounds and two 122-millimeter rounds.

Approximately three hours later, Iraqi Police teamed up again with Coalition Force Soldiers after receiving a tip from an anonymous Iraqi civilian. They identified another potential car bomb in Saydiyah and called in an explosive ordnance team to disarm the bomb. The team extracted three 155-millimeter rounds and one 130-millimeter round. The vehicle was later removed by the Iraqi Police.
