Four people with possible ties to last May's ambush and kidnapping of American soldiers were captured southwest of Baghdad, the U.S. military said. Helicopters carried about 600 U.S. and Iraqi troops Friday to two Sunni villages -- Owesap and Betra -- 15 miles southwest of Baghdad to take on militants, Multi-National Division Center spokesman Lt. Col. Randy Martin said. The four detainees are being questioned about "possible ties to the missing, captured soldiers," he was quoted as saying by the Associated Press.
