- Story Text: Suspects were arrested in a dawn raid in Baquba, Iraq.
U.S. troops backed up by armoured vehicles raided a
village near the restive town of Baquba on Friday (November
7) and locals said the troops were hunting for Rashid Taan
Kazim, a former regional chairman of Saddam's Baath Party
who is number 49 on a U.S. list of the 55 most-wanted Iraqi
fugitives.
The raid ended without anybody on the most-wanted list
being captured, U.S. officers in the town northeast of
Baghdad said.
"We are going after some arms dealers and some suspected
terrorists training camps. We believe the individuals from
that camp were down here in this town," the commander of
the raid, from the U.S. 4th division, Putch Graham said.
A notorious arms dealer was among those detained in
the operation nicknamed Cyclone, U.S. military said.
