  • Story Text: U.S. forces raided a village in Baquba.


    Around 70 American soldiers of the Striker Platoon
    of the 1/6 Field Artillery raided on Monday (March 22) a
    village on the outskirts of Baquba.

    The U.S. troops were looking for a former member of
    ousted president Saddam Hussein's Baath Party.

    The troops swept into the village, storming and
    searching seven houses looking for the suspect.

    The raid ended with the troops not finding him. Two men
    were arrested for further interrogation.

    Baquba, 75 km north of the capital Baghdad is part of
    the Sunni Triangle, which also extends to the west of the
    country. The region is a hotbed of attacks against U.S.

    forces.
