Iraq-Baghdad BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com: Iraqi security forces arrested 15 wanted men and suspected gunmen, freed a kidnapped person and defused five bombs during operations waged in separate areas on Baghdad in the past 24 hours, the official spokesman for the Baghdad operations command said on Monday. “A total of 104 displaced families returned to their houses in Baghdad,” General Qassem Atta told IraqiNews.com. Since February 2007, Iraqi security forces have launched a large-scale operation dubbed as Fardh al-Qanoon (The Law Imposing) to crack down on gunmen and to stamp the rule of law in Baghdad and its suburbs.
