BAGHDAD — The U.S. military says it's captured an Iranian-trained bomb expert southeast of Baghdad.
A military statement says the man is believed to have travelled to Iran several times for explosives training.
It also says he has numerous Iranian contacts who help him smuggle weapons and bomb-making materials into Iraq.
The statement says U.S. troops, acting on intelligence from other criminals already in custody, raided the man's house Wednesday and subdued him without firing any shots.
The military says the suspect is a member of a "special group" - language the U.S. uses to describe Shiite militiamen defying a ceasefire order by anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.
