Baqouba - Iraqi police arrested two operatives of Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and seized weapons and ammunition, a police commander said on Tuesday.
Provincial police commander Waleed al-Azzawi said the first suspect was arrested by coalition troops last week and handed over to Iraqi authorities.
He confessed to working for al-Zarqawi's group and gave the name of the second suspect who was arrested in a raid on Monday night about 100km north of Baqouba, al-Azzawi said.
The general said police seized weapons, ammunition and rocket launchers in the Monday raid.
