Hundreds of U.S. and Iraqi forces on Monday launched their largest Baghdad raid in recent weeks, moving on foot through a central neighborhood and rounding up dozens of people, the US Army said.
Some 500 members of Iraq's police and army swept through buildings in the Rashid neighborhood along with a "couple hundred" US troops, detaining 65 people, said Lt. Col. Clifford Kent of the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division.
According to The AP, one Iraqi soldier was wounded.
In the western town of Qaim, witnesses said attackers hit the main gates of a U.S. military base with twin suicide car bombs Monday morning. At least three civilians were wounded, conveyed Ammar Fuad, a doctor at the local hospital.
