BAGHDAD, Oct 29 (KUNA) -- Five Hezbollah Battalions activists in Iraq were
detained by the Multi-National Forces (MNF) Wednesday morning during an
operation executed in Al- Amarah, the MNF said.
The operation followed intelligence information and the forces stormed
Amarah town, Misan Province's largest city, the statement added.
The operation resulted in detaining a major Hezbollah Battalions leader,
who was facilitating financial support for attacks along with four other
suspects.
There were no armed clashes, the MNF further pointed out.
The MNF discovered more than USD 50,000 and nearly 12 million Iraqi Dinar
