Iraq

Coalition forces killed one al Qaeda fighter and detained 25 more during raids throughout Iraq; a terrorist leader was also detained in Khan Bani Sab. US troops captured a Hezbollah Brigades leader and two associates, and two Special Groups leaders and eight operatives during separate raids in Baghdad. Iraqi troops arrested five “wanted men” in Samarra and two “criminals” in Baghdad.
