20 Suspected Insurgents Detained in Iraq (from Sunni mosque)
BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.S. and Iraqi forces detained 20 suspected insurgents early Saturday, four at a west Baghdad mosque identified by the U.S. military as a possible haven for al-Qaida in Iraq.


The soldiers surrounded the Sunni al-Khayr mosque complex in the violence-plagued Khadhra neighborhood late Friday, said police 1st Lt. Thayer Mahmoud.

A witness said the troops burst in just after evening prayers. He and other worshippers were searched, questioned and photographed, and four of them were detained, he said on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.

Iraqi forces led the joint operation and discovered several rooftop fighting positions, assault rifles and firebombs, the U.S. military said in a statement.
