Iraq's defense ministry says security forces have arrested 93 suspects in an al-Qaida crackdown in the western Anbar province.
A defense ministry spokesman, Major General Mohammed al-Askari, said Thursday the arrests included 60 wanted men.
He said the detentions resulted from a series of raids launched late Tuesday that included help from police, the army, pro-government tribal forces and members of an anti-al-Qaida militia.
Earlier this week, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki named security as one of his top priorities after parliament approved cabinet ministers for his new government.
Meanwhile, Iraqi officials say gunmen using silencers have killed a brigadier general and wounded a police lieutenant colonel. Both incidents occurred late Wednesday in Baghdad.
Bush’s fault.
bullcrap. the left told us for YEARS that Al Qaeda was not in Iraq.
Pingy-dingy.

help from police, the army, pro-government tribal forces and members of an anti-al-Qaida militiaIOW, the Shiites are taking over the country from the Sunnis. The latter had their chance when the US was trying to restore order, and thought it would be better to fight us as the Iranian proxies took over everything. Now they'll pay. Thanks nuconvert.
Jihad is coming back to haunt the Arabs. Bout time as they say.
