U.S. troops detain 23 suspects in Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq --U.S. troops detained 23 people suspected of ties to senior al-Qaida leaders in raids Wednesday morning in western Iraq, the military said.

The raids took place in Ramadi, the capital of Iraq's volatile western Anbar province.

three of the suspects detonated an improvised explosive device, then ran into a house. American troops shot one of the suspects, wounding him as he tried to flee, the military said in a statement.

The writers of the MNF-Iraq report, ONE TERRORIST WOUNDED, 22 OTHERS DETAINED IN RAMADI,
use the word "terrorist" without fail in every sentence.
