— U.S. troops captured an alleged Shiite militia leader and three other suspects in a raid south of Baghdad, the U.S. military said today.

The operation took place late Thursday in the Mashru area, the military said.

The main suspect, it said, was believed to be a "special groups" leader - language the military uses to describe Shiite Muslim militias allegedly backed by Iran.
