SAMARRA - U.S. troop raided two homes in this central Iraqi city Wednesday morning, arresting four family members of the most-wanted Iraq insurgent still at large. The military said two of the detainees were suspected of keeping former Iraqi Vice President Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri in hiding. Forty soldiers from 720th Military Police Battalion out of Fort Hood, Texas, raided two houses in the central Iraqi city of Samarra after a tip. The raid appeared to bring coalition forces even closer to al-Doury, who is believed to have been orchestrating continuing attacks against U.S. forces in Iraq. |
