U.S. and Iraqi troops captured 88 suspects and destroyed a bomb-making facility in a series of raids, the U.S. military said Sunday. The operations took place last week but were reported Sunday by the military, the Associated Press reported. Iraqi troops backed by U.S. forces searched 33 homes and detained 82 people Tuesday near Youssifiyah, 20 kilometers (12 miles) south of Baghdad, the military said in a statement. Sixty-nine of those captured were released after questioning. The 13 who remain in custody were accused of planting roadside bombs, the statement said. Two more suspects were detained Thursday in a joint U.S.-Iraqi mission near Mahmoudiyah, 32 kilometers (20 miles) south of the Iraqi capital, another statement said. That mission also targeted people involved in bomb-making. Iraqi police captured four men at a checkpoint in southeastern Baghdad on Friday, the U.S. military said.
