 (KUNA) -- Iraqi and coalition forces arrested 16 currency exchange employees in Tikrit on Friday on charges of financing terrorism, a US Army statement said Friday. The statement added that currency exchange outlets in Tikrit, the birth place of ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, had implemented mechanisms for illegal foreign currency transactions to finance militant groups in Iraq. It added that the operation took place in daylight after citizens reported suspicious activities. Posted by: Fred 2006-10-14 |
