"The forces engaged with armed groups that employed locations in these villages as safe houses, killing 11 gunmen, and devastating four cars that they used in their operations," he added.
The source proceeded, "One gunman, with an explosive belt, blew himself up on a group of U.S. soldiers, wounding five of them."
He explained that the combined forces seized a large quantity of weapons and ammunitions, asserting that there were no casualties among the Iraqi troops.
