2 wanted men arrested in Diwaniya

DIWANIYA / IraqiNews.com: Police forces on Monday arrested two wanted men in Diwaniya province, the media director of the Diwaniya police said. “Policemen arrested two wanted men, believed of being involved in the attack on the Faculty of Law at al-Qadissiya University by two rockets last week,” Brig. Abdulaziz al-Salehi told IraqiNews.com. “They were captured after confessions made by the head of the cell who was arrested last week,” he noted. Diwaniya, a Shiite province, lies 180 km south of the Iraqi capital Baghdad. In 2002, the population of Diwaniya was estimated at 420,000. The area around the province, which is well irrigated from the nearby Euphrates River, is often considered to be one of the most fertile parts of Iraq, and is heavily cultivated. The town is located on the main rail transport corridor between Baghdad and Basra. For birdwatchers, Diwaniya is a city with a rich bird list, as it has a wide range of biodiversity. SH (P) 1
