In Iraq on Monday, U.S. forces arrested and detained the head of the leading Sunni political party in Iraq. The politician — Mohsen Abdel Hamid — said U.S. forces burst into his home, tied his hands, put a hood over his head and then led him to an undisclosed location. Three of his sons were also detained during the raid. Following protests from Iraq’s President Jalal Talabani, the U.S. released Hamid claiming the raid and arrest took place by accident.
