Posted: 06:18 AM ET

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) - Coalition troops in Baghdad on Thursday killed a
man during a raid targeting al Qaeda in Iraq, the U.S. military said.

The incident occurred in an operation that led to the capture of an
alleged al Qaeda militant "believed to conduct financial transactions for AQI
and its car-bombing networks."

Troops killed the man when he "refused to comply with their instructions
and made threatening movements toward them." Two other people were detained.
