US troops raid Tirkrit
US troops have carried out raids in Saddam Husseinâs hometown of Tikrit, arresting a number of people they suspect of planning to carry out attacks on coalition forces in Iraq. "We were targeting what we suspect was a terrorist cell network," Colonel Steve Russell told the Reuters news agency. The raid came as the US voiced suspicions that a former senior member of the Saddam Hussein government was co-ordinating attacks from the area.Posted by: Bulldog 2003-10-30 |
