| Four people with alleged links to suspected Al-Qaeda operative Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi were arrested north of Baghdad together with a police officer, the provincial chief said accusing the group of carrying out attacks on police. The men were charged with involvement in a series of attacks on police stations in the town of Baquba in June that killed dozens, said General Walid Abdul Salam. He said a police officer with a rank of major was charged with providing intelligence and tip-offs to the four. Abdul Salam said Friday that four people suspected of involvement in assassinations in Baquba had been arrested. A machine gun, hand grenades, black masks and pro-Al-Qaeda literature was found with the group. |
