US troops detain Iraq TV news editor

US troops have detained the news editor of Iraq's leading Shiite-run television station. They raided the Baghdad home of Hafidh al-Beshara, manager of political programming for Al-Forat TV, in order to capture his 19-year-old son, who is alleged to be linked to Shiite extremist groups. But al-Beshara was held as well after a machine gun was found. A US military spokesman said the detentions were not related to Al-Forat's output. (Via ABC)
