US Military In Iraq Captures Iran-Backed Hezbollah Terrorists
December 01, 2008
Baghdad: Four suspected members of an Iran-backed militant network have been captured by the US military in Iraq, it said on Monday.
A statement released by the US military said the four detained belong to an insurgent group called Katai’b Hezbollah.
“Katai’b Hezbollah is assessed to be a surrogate of Iran. Its members are believed to be responsible for recent attacks against Iraqi citizens and coalition forces,” the US military said.
Thirty-three Iranian-sponsored criminals have been detained in the last month, the military said. It was not clear whether Monday’s detentions were included in that figure.
