Iraqi detainees tied to Saddam captured by US forces
US troops in Tikrit said they captured six individuals closely tied to Saddam Hussein and the former regime for suspected anti coalition activities including attacks on helicopters. A roadside bomb in Baghdad wounded two US soldiers as violence persisted across the country. In Fallujah two men suspected of being informants for the Americans were killed by insurgents. Meanwhile crowds gathered in Najaf after reports of an assassination attempt on Ayatollah al Sistani, which officials denied. About 800 Iraqis demonstrated in Khaldiyah calling to lift the dusk to dawn curfew.
