US continues to round up Iraqi 'fighters'
US forces have arrested dozens more Iraqis in continuing sweeps for resistance fighters. The sweeps, which took place across Iraq, also led to the uncovering of several substantial weapons caches. Paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division captured six men, suspected of being Saddam Husein loyalists, in an operation on Thursday in the western province of Al-Anbar. Also in Al-Anbar, paratroopers from the US 82nd Airborne Division opened fire on two men seen planting an improvised bomb. One of the men was killed and another injured, the military said. US officials also disclosed that their forces were attacked in Annah in the same province on Thursday. US troops from the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment came under rocket-propelled grenade fire, leaving one soldier with a broken leg and shrapnel wounds. In northern Iraq, the 4th Infantry Division (4ID) captured a man said to have been responsible for killing eight Iraqi soldiers during the US-led invasion of Iraq early last year.
I don't know if that's a typo or if the guy was one of those shooting the fellows who wanted to throw in the towel...
Another five men suspected of "illegal arms dealing" were arrested by the 4th ID close to Iraq's eastern border with Iran, while a haul of 100 rockets was recovered near the town of Samarra. Separately, four men were captured by the 101st Airborne Division in northern Iraq during search operations around the town of Mosul, according to one statement.
