Arms cache found at house of bodyguard of leading Iraqi MP

BAGHDAD, Dec 29 (KUNA) -- Iraqi law-enforcers have discovered a large arms cache at the house of one of the bodyguards of Chairman of Iraqi Accordance Front Adnan Al-Duleimi.
The arms cache includes large quantities of weapons, explosives and mortar shells, Spokesman of Baghdad Law-Enforcement Plan Brigadier Qassem Atta told reporters here Saturday.
The house of Al-Duleimi's bodyguard Riyadh Mahmoud Al-Falahi is close to Al-Duleimi's in Al-Adel district, west Baghdad, Atta pointed out.
Al-Fallahi's house belongs originally to an Iraqi immigrant family but was given to the bodyguard by Al-Duleimi's son Mekki who is being held in police custody in connection with a terrorism charge, the senior police officer disclosed.
Atta played a film showing the security operation against Al-Fallahi's house and the munitions seized.
Mekki was arrested by the Iraqi law enforcement agencies in connection with the murder of one of the militiamen of the pro-government Awakening councils and the seizure of two explosives-laden cars near Al-Duleimi's house early in December. (end) ahh.gb KUNA 300005 Dec 07NNNN
