From 'BBC': The US military says it has captured 32 suspected militants, including 10 on a wanted list, in a wave of arrests across Iraq. The leadership of the al-Qaeda in Iraq group has been degraded, the military said after the arrests in Baghdad, Mosul and the Tigris river valley. One of the 14 arrested in Mosul is believed to have been involved in car bombings and kidnappings.
The US also captured two suspected Shia militiamen near Kut, south of Baghdad. The US military accused the two of being members of Iranian-trained "special groups" - Shia fighters who are not observing a ceasefire called by the Shia cleric and militia leader Moqtada Sadr. The arrest of two suspected Shia militiamen was announced on Thursday, June 12th. Correspondents say US allegations of Iranian support for Shia fighters are expected to be on the agenda when Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki visits Tehran on Saturday.
