1AD gets it done.

Read the whole story here.

1st Armored Division soldiers raided five houses in Baghdad on Sunday night and early Monday, netting an Iraqi doctor suspected of organizing and carrying out attacks on coalition forces.

The soldiers, from the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Field Artillery Regiment and 1st Brigade Reconnaissance Troop, also found an AK-47 assault rifle hidden in a wall, a .45-caliber pistol, documents and tools possibly used for the manufacture of improvised explosive devices.

No soldiers were killed or injured in the raid, which took place in the eastern part of Baghdad. The doctor was turned over to a coalition detention center Monday...

Sgt. 1st Class Daniel Pinion pressed the buzzer on the gate, and a man matching the doctor’s description answered the door. Scouts also saw a BMW purportedly belonging to the doctor in the courtyard.

“I knew it was the guy,” Pinion said. “With the car and the [physical] description, it was him. Intel was perfect.”
