Baghdad - United States and Iraqi forces with armoured vehicles surrounded a Shi'ite mosque in southeastern Baghdad on Saturday, in what appeared to be the latest operation against Shi'ite militias.

There was no immediate comment from the US military or the Iraqi interior ministry, but a policeman at the scene outside the Sadrain Mosque in the Zafaraniya district said he believed they were trying to arrest members of the Shi'ite Mehdi Army.

The mosque is believed to be loyal to radical young cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, whose Mehdi Army fighters have been the target of several recent operations by government and US forces, including a major raid on Baghdad's Sadr City area on Friday.

The US military said it had captured a major militant suspect, Abu Deraa, accused of kidnappings and murders, in the Sadr City raid.
