Iraq Nabs Nearly 900 Suspected Militants

Iraq Detains Nearly 900 Suspected Militants, Sets Up More Than 800 Checkpoints in 2-Week Sweep

The Iraqi government announced Monday it detained nearly 900 suspected militants and set up more than 800 checkpoints in a two-week sweep that appears to have somewhat blunted attacks in the capital.
Also, a list obtained Monday shows Saddam Hussein will be charged with a range of war crimes when he goes on trial, probably within the next two months. Iraqi officials believe offensives like Operation Lightning, along with the deposed dictator's trial, could help deflate the insurgency being waged by Saddam loyalists and Islamic extremists.
