US forces in Iraq seize rogue Sadr militant

BAGHDAD - US forces in Iraq captured a Shia militant and killed two others, accusing them of ignoring cleric Moqtada al-Sadr’s order to freeze the activities of his Mahdi Army militia, the military said on Saturday.

They said American troops carried out an operation early on Saturday in the village of Fawwaliyah in the restive Diyala province, northeast of Baghdad.

“The operation was targeting a splinter group leader, who was not honouring Moqtada al-Sadr’s pledge to cease attacks and who was involved in weapons procurement, kidnapping and explosively-formed penetrator attacks,” the military said in a statement.

Without revealing the identity of the militant, the statement said he had ties with an Iranian intelligence cell.

During the operation the target of the raid surrendered but two others were killed because they “failed to comply with the instructions and warning shots,” it added.

Another 14 suspected militants were also detained at the site.
