US forces sweep through Iraqi towns
US forces kicked off a massive sweep with more than 20 lightning raids in towns throughout Iraq, netting at least 60 suspects in a show of air and infantry power designed to crush resistance and stem a wave of deadly attacks on US troops.
Yesterday’s raids by the 4th Infantry Division and Task Force Ironhorse troops came as the US civilian administrator of Iraq said American forces must kill or capture Saddam Hussein so he can no longer be a rallying point for anti-coalition attacks.
