US troops conduct dawn raid on Saddam's town

Dozens of US troops raided homes near Tikrit’s infamous “RPG Alley” today and arrested five men thought to be involved in bankrolling attacks against American troops in Saddam Hussein’s home town.

The pre-dawn raid was carried out against three homes located next to a main road which has seen 20 attacks with rocket-propelled grenades, or RPGs, against the US military in the past two weeks.
