BAGHDAD -- The U.S. military announced the capture Friday of a suspected militant
linked to the import into Iraq of sophisticated roadside bombs that the Americans
have asserted are coming from Iran.
The suspect, who was detained by U.S. and Iraqi forces during a raid in the Shiite
militia stronghold of Sadr City, was believed to be tied to networks bringing the
weapons known as explosively formed projectiles, or EFPs, into Iraq, the military
said.
The suspect was believed to be involved with several violent extremist groups
responsible for attacks against Iraqis and U.S.-led forces, according to the
statement.
