BAGHDAD, April 12 (Xinhuanet) -- US and Iraqi forces nabbed four wanted terrorist cell leaders in a series of massive raids in Baghdad, the US military said Tuesday.
The four suspects, detained in four separate
operations, had been specifically targeted for their involvement in terrorist
cells, the military said in a statement.
The statement provided no further details about
the four, only saying they were currently held in US custody.
The series of operations were mounted late Monday
and early Tuesday in western Baghdad, where weapons and documents were also
founded, it said.
Also on Tuesday, Iraqi security forces captured
Fadhil Ibrahim Mahmud Al-Mashadani, an allegedly key member of the toppled
Saddam Hussein regime, in a farm northeast of Baghdad.
The interim government said Mashadani, once a
military bureau leader in Baghdad under Saddam, organized and funded insurgent
attacks against US and Iraqi forces. Enditem |
