U.S. forces arrested 41 people in Iraq Wednesday including several believed to be responsible for a November 29 attack that killed seven Spanish intelligence officers, Spanish Defense Minister Federico Trillo said. The arrests in Latifiya, about 20 miles south of Baghdad, were carried out with intelligence from U.S., British and Spanish forces and the help of Iraqi police. "The operation was done without the need to fire shots and without casualties," Trillo told parliament. Also Wednesday, Trillo announced the arrests of five suspects in the killing of a Spanish military attache in Baghdad in October.
