Looting Arrests Include Free Iraqi Forces Troops
From Times Wire Reports
U.S. troops arrested eight members of the Free Iraqi Forces after saying they were found looting abandoned homes of members of Saddam Hussein’s ousted regime in Baghdad.
Some of the group’s members were trained and transported to Iraq by the U.S. military.
Army Staff Sgt. Bryce Ivings said two groups of four uniformed men were caught. The first group was armed with rocket-propelled grenades and was kept in custody. The second was unarmed and was ordered to cease looting.
