Iraq hunting for foreign terror suspects
AP - Sun Dec 05, 6:58AM CST
BAGHDAD (AP) — An Iraqi military spokesman says security forces are searching for six foreign fighters who helped launch a number of attacks this year that left more than 140 people dead.

Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi said Sunday the six suspects — who are on Baghdad's most-wanted list — are behind the Oct. 31 siege of a church that left 68 people dead.

He said they also participated in two summertime attacks on an Iraqi army headquarters in central Baghdad. Those attacks killed a combined 73 people.

Al-Moussawi said five of the suspects are hiding in two Sunni Muslim-dominated provinces bordering Syria, while the sixth suspect has fled to that country.

Counterterror officials believe most foreign fighters cross into Iraq from Syria.
