"Security forces conducted a raid-and-search operation in Rabea village of Saadiya, 100 km north-east of Baaquba, capturing five suspects, including the a mosque imam who was on a wanted list," Ahmed al-Zargushi, the district's police chief, told Aswat al-Iraq - Voices of Iraq - (VOI). The local official added "security forces seized and defused a car bomb parking near a house in the district, leaving no damage."
