Baghdad — US-led forces arrested 25 people during operations against Al Qaeda in Iraq this weekend, the American military said on Sunday. The American military said those detained included alleged members of car bomb cells, financial networks and a suspect who allegedly assisted in the movement of suicide bombers from Iran to Iraq.Most of the suspects were detained in Baghdad and the northern cities of Mosul and Kirkuk, which remain volatile despite improvements in security in many parts of the country.
“Coalition forces will continue to target the Al Qaeda network to further diminish its ability to conduct terrorist attacks against the Iraqi people,” said Major John C. Hall, a US military spokesman.
