BAGHDAD — A joint U.S.-Iraqi force targeted an al-Qaeda cell involved in funneling arms and weapons into Iraq from Syria, arresting three people near the troubled northern city of Mosul, the U.S. military said Saturday.
The statement said the cell is led by the Syria-based Abu Khalaf, whose assets were frozen by the U.S. Treasury department Thursday for his involvement in the flow of money, weapons and militants through Syria into Iraq.
Also Saturday, a U.S. soldier died in combat in southern Iraq, the U.S. military said.
