4 Suspected Militants Held in Iraq Raid U.S. Soldiers Detain Four Suspected Militants in Raid on Iraq's Biggest Dairy Plant

The Associated Press

BAGHDAD, Iraq March 7 — Hundreds of U.S. soldiers, backed by tanks and helicopters, raided Baghdad's biggest dairy processing plant Sunday and detained four suspected militants. Some 500 soldiers with the 2nd Battalion, 12th Cavalry Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division, raided the plant in the western suburbs of the capital Sunday morning.

Battalion commander Lt. Col. Tim Ryan told The Associated Press that soldiers were searching for specific suspects sought by the U.S.-led coalition. The four detainees were not identified.

Troops entered the grounds of the eight-building plant without incident and checked identity papers of the workers, separating men and women.

After the raid, soldiers handed out Arabic-language newspapers printed by the coalition and handbills offering rewards for information about suspected militants or bombmakers.
