Nick Breg atrocity: Four arrested, two released
First reports were that the arrestees where Saddamites from Tikrit, but that seems to have faded from the scene.
Funny timing, though, isn't it? "Round up the usual suspects"?
The U.S. detained four men two days ago in Baghdad on suspicion of involvement in the murder of American Nicholas Berg in Iraq, U.S. Army Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt said during a briefing televised from Baghdad.
Two of the individuals have been set free, Kimmitt said. The intelligence leading to the detentions came from tips from Iraqis, and troops from the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq took the suspects into custody, he said.
