American forces in Iraq have reportedly detained 61 people linked to al-Qaeda Iraq led by Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Spokesman of multinational forces in Iraq, General Rick Lynch said in a statement announced earlier today the detained al-Qaeda members were captured during an operation on a training camp near the city of Felluce (Fallaujah) on Monday.

The US forces conduct regular operations in the Al Anbar region, a popular area for sheltering many foreign insurgents.

Has AP or Sky News confirmed yet? Sounds pretty significant.

Hey, they have them setup in this country, so what's to stop them from setting them up in Iraq?

Sounds like it's probably the result of the announcement the other day of the capture of a top aid to Zarqawi.

This many to interrogate should give even more intel.

The real problem has been the lack of security forces in western Iraq, we are just starting to get enough to make a difference, but there was far far too few from 2003-2005.

Pelosi's 'RATS aren't going to like this. Get ready for them to rekindle their "torture" rant.

More likely Sunnis are pissed at the mosque bombing and are ratting out al-Qaeda.

Why waste the ammo. A entrenching tool to the back of the head would do just fine.

That would make sense...

But instead they'll be given Craftmatic beds and room service.
