BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi police have arrested 270 militants, mostly from neighboring countries, in recent raids, the interim interior minister said in remarks published Thursday.

Some of the militants were Syrian and Iranian, Falah Hassan al-Naqib told the London-based Asharq Al-Awsat daily.

"I can confirm that 90 percent of those who carried out suicide operations are not Iraqis," al-Naqib said. "I believe that Iraqis' noncompliance with terrorists has made them a target."

The Iraqi government has previously announced the capture of foreign fighters here and urged neighboring countries to do more to help prevent infiltration of militants who cross into the war-ravaged country to fight U.S.-led coalition forces.

U.S. officials had long blamed foreign fighters of playing a role in Iraq (news - web sites)'s 15-month-old insurgency, but recently the military has said the fighters are mainly loyalists of deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein (news - web sites).

Despite the tragedy of losing nearly 1000 of our fine young men and women over there, the war in Iraq has attracted terrorists like honey attracts flies. Every one we kill over there will reduce their potential to commit mayhem over here. And every one we capture will provide us with leads that may put more "dots" on the page.

Git a rope...... lots of them. And for the mass murderers trace their families back to Syria or what have you and off them.

When a terrorist plants a car bomb that kills 30, his execution alone is not sufficient. His family must suffer. This is the way of the ME.

Mostly. Which means certainly more than 50% (135). So about 150 terrorists from other countries.

No matter how you slice them - err = it, that's a lot of foreign interference.

Actually, the part of the stories of captured foreign terrorists that I'm anxious to read is what punishment is being meted out to them in the Iraqi Courts after their interrogations are completed. I am really anxious to know. Hope 10+ years!
