  • Story Text: U.S military say they have discovered a makeshift
    bomb factory in a Baquba.



    U.S. soldiers launched a pre-dawn raid in the
    northern Iraqi town of Baquba on Thursday (October 30) in
    search of suspects involved in manufacturing Improvised
    Explosive Devices.

    In the second raid in two days, the soldiers stormed a
    number of houses terrifying women and arresting five men.

    On Wednesday (October 29) four-hundred U.S. soldiers
    searching for weapons and Saddam loyalists raided a village
    and interrogated 500 people.

    The U.S. army usually carries out raids in the night
    with teams of scouts conducting reconnaisance, tanks
    establishing security cordons and quick-action infantrymen
    with night-vision googles storming suspected locations.
