Iraqi Forces Capture Iranian-Linked Shia Militia Leader

We don't have a name here to go with this capture but it all falls in line with the captures that I blogged about yesterday. Here's the details of this operation from Breitbart:

The U.S. military says U.S.-backed Iraqi forces have arrested a suspected Shiite militia leader who has been linked to Iran.
A statement says the purported "special groups" leader has allegedly been working with Iranian intelligence for three years and helped smuggle weapons, money and information into Iraq.

The statement issued Tuesday says the militia leader and two other suspected extremists were arrested Friday in the southern Iraqi city of Qurna.

Now, the article says "U.S.-backed Iraqi forces..." so I'm certain that this is another operation that was spearheaded by the U.S. Task Force 88 teams I blogged about yesterday. And it is clear that these Shia leaders, these remnants of the Sadr militia that broke away from Mookie Sadr to continue the fight against the Americans and the government are being hunted down like dogs.

US-backed Iraqi troops arrest Shiite militant

BAGHDAD (AP) - The U.S. military says U.S.-backed Iraqi forces have arrested a suspected Shiite militia leader who has been linked to Iran.
A statement says the purported "special groups" leader has allegedly been working with Iranian intelligence for three years and helped smuggle weapons, money and information into Iraq.
The U.S. military uses the term "special groups" to refer to violent Shiite militia factions.
The statement issued Tuesday says the militia leader and two other suspected extremists were arrested Friday in the southern Iraqi city of Qurna.
The U.S. military has accused Iran of stoking violence in Iraq. Tehran denies the charges.
