BAGHDAD - A suspected Shiite militia leader accused of involvement in the deaths of U.S. soldiers has been captured in Iraq, the U.S. military said on Tuesday.
The U.S. military refers to such fighters as members of Iranian-backed "special groups" who are defying a cease-fire order by anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Many of them are believed to have fled recent fighting in Baghdad's Shiite militia stronghold of Sadr City.
