Iraq

Iraqi troops reoccupied the Fakka oil field after a brief Iranian incursion. Iraq security forces detained 36 wanted men in Basrah and 10 more in Babil, a wanted al Qaeda operative in Mosul, a Special Groups leader in Al Kut, and a Mahdi Army cell leader in Diyala. Insurgents wounded four Iraqis in two bombings in Fallujah.
