US forces arrest Iraqi Sunni leader
US forces arrest Iraqi Sunni leader

US forces have arrested a senior Iraqi tribal leader from the predominantly Sunni Arab area around Samarra, north of Baghdad, Iraqi police say.

Shaikh Talal Abd al-Karim al-Matar, the head of the Samarra tribal council and chief of the al-Sood, was taken away late on Monday night by US troops from his home in al-Muatasim, east of Samarra, said Lieutenant Colonel Mahmud Mohammed of Iraqi police on Tuesday.

The 30,000 strong al-Sood is one of the most powerful tribes in Samarra and several of its members have been detained by US troops, including Mullah Kamel al-Aswadi, allegedly linked to al-Qaida frontman in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
