Two Iranians Arrested in Iraq
Iraqi officials arrested two Iranians trying to detonate a car bomb Monday in a residential neighborhood in eastern Baghdad, authorities said. Iraqi officials have blamed foreign fighters and religious extremists for a wave of vehicle bombings in recent months. The arrests Monday were the first time they actually captured any foreign fighters, according to Col. Adnan Abdul-Rahman, an interior ministry spokesman. Abdul-Rahman said the men had been captured in the Talbiyah neighborhood as they tried to set off a car bomb. He did not elaborate on what their target was.Posted by: Fred 2004-07-05 |
