Iraqi forces have detained scores of foreigners, including Arabs, Pakistanis and Afghans, on suspicion of planning attacks on the country's Shiites. A Defense Ministry source yesterday said some 130 suspects were arrested during a raid in Jurf Al-Sakhr, about 60 km south of Baghdad. "We found explosive devices and materials, booby-trapped cars and compact discs showing beheadings," said the source. He said preliminary interrogation of the suspects had revealed that they had a list of clerics targeted for assassination in the mid-Euphrates region, which includes Karbala and Najaf. "Some of them were tasked with attacking visitors to Karbala and Najaf with small-arms fire and roadside bombs and even poisoning their food," the source said.
