MNF arrest terror suspect in crackdown on Haditha
2005-09-14
The Multi National Forces (MNF) based here announced Tuesday that a terror suspect, who maintains close relations to the Al-Qaeda terror network, has been arrested in a crackdown on the Haditha city. The MNF did not reveal the detainee's identity, but said in a statement that the operation was carried at dawn today.

The statement added that clashes have flared up between the MNF and three gunmen groups, and that two militants were killed. It reported no MNF losses. Two other terror suspects in the city of Samarra were also killed by the forces today. The two suspects have allegedly been trying to plant a land mine. The Iraqi police in cooperation with US marines managed to defuse a booby-trapped car in the Musaieb area. They recovered several missiles and gas cylinders in a addition to a bomb from the car, which had been reportedly stolen from the Iraqi city of al-Fallujah one month back.
