| (KUNA) -- Multi-National Force (MNF) arrested 12 bodyguards who work for a prominent member of Iraq's Parliament (MP), Khalaf Alayyan, the spokesman of the law enforcement plan, Brigadier Qassem Atta, said on Sunday. The U.S. military said in a statement that 14 bodyguards of the MP were arrested and described them as terrorists. Atta said in a press conference that the MNF forces surrounded the area and house of the MP after receiving intelligence reports. The forces then raided the house, arrested 12 armed men inside it and confiscated illegal caches of weapons and explosives, Atta added. However, the U.S. military said its raid operation resulted in the arrest of 14 terrorists and confiscated illegal weapons from the Sunni MP's headquarters office in Al-Mansour area west of Baghdad. The statement said the arrested were investigated by the MNF. |
