BAGHDAD: Iraq said yesterday that its military backed by US forces arrested hundreds of suspects during an offensive aimed at stamping out Al Qaeda in a restive central province.
"Our forces have arrested 265 suspects so far during our operations in Diyala," a defence ministry spokesman said.
The raids have taken place throughout Diyala province where 50,000 Iraqi soldiers and police began a major push against insurgents to secure the volatile region.
