"There are basically five different targets that we had today. Most of them were either training areas or training bases for the actual terrorist admin actually conducting the operations. Places where they'd been storing weapons and ammunition, and also locations where we thought their leadership and main suppliers and funders..

STORYLINE:

US soldiers based in Baquba launched a raid on suspected Fedayeen bases and training camps north of Baquba late on Friday.

Around a hundred and fifty soldiers confiscated more than fifty Kalashnikov guns and ammunition.

Several people were arrested.

Friday's raid was part ongoing efforts by US forces to crack down on perpetrators and supporters of frequent attacks on the coalition troops in the area.

Baquba lies in the so-called Sunni triangle where resistance to the Coalition runs particularly strong.
