| The US-led forces have arrested a senior police commander and two aides over "terrorist activities" in Jalwala, Diyala province. Hassan Koravi, the commander of the Jalwala Police's emergency unit and two of his aides were arrested on Tuesday afternoon, over the charge of carrying out terrorist activities, police sources told the Voices of Iraq. The detainees' houses have been demolished by explosives after their families were evacuated, according to the sources. The Iraqi government has recently launched a security crackdown in the restive province, a former hotbed of insurgency in the war torn country. |

| #1 I am not sure "US-led" is correct anymore. US-assisted might be more accurate. |
