US soldiers detained about two dozen people, including a "targeted leader" of Saddam Hussein's regime, in a series of Sunday raids against people said to be participating in the violent resistance to the U.S. occupation. The U.S. military said there had been no fatal attacks on American soldiers in Iraq for two days - a respite from the increased violence against Americans in Iraq since Saddam Hussein's sons were killed in a U.S. raid on July 22. Sunday's raids by the 3rd Armored Cavalry in the so-called "Sunni Triangle" west and north of the capital netted 24 "regime loyalists, including a targeted leader," the U.S. Central Command said. It provided no details on the identities of the captives.
