Iraqi police join large raid in tikrit
Raids nets 92 "guerillas."
"Iraqi security forces and U.S. military police on Monday teamed up in Tikrit in the hunt for guerrillas behind a series of deadly attacks on American troops — the largest joint raid to date."
..."We think we are turning the corner with the police. This was completely led by the Iraqis," Lt. Col. David Poirier, who commands the 720th, based in Fort Hood, Texas, said. "We hope this operation has tightened the noose on the bad guys."
"This operation was designed to break the back of the Fedayeen," Poirier continued. "They are off balance, on the run, they know we are after them and that the Iraqi police are after them. We want to send the message that if you pull the trigger on the coalition, we will get you."
