Dispatches from the Front:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 2008 -- Coalition forces in Iraq today captured 11 suspects in operations aimed at dismantling Baghdad’s car-bomb networks, military officials reported.
Troops captured a man early this morning in Baghdad’s Karkh neighborhood who was wanted as a suspect in an Oct. 12 car-bomb attack that killed five civilians and wounded 12 others in the Rasheed area of the city, officials said. They detained seven additional suspects during a search of the home where the man was found.
During a separate operation in Baghdad's Mansour neighborhood, coalition forces captured another man wanted in connection with the city's al-Qaida in Iraq car-bomb network. Reports suggest the man has connections to an alleged car-bomb leader who was captured Nov. 8, officials said. Two additional suspects were detained during the operation.
