U.S.-led forces launched an offensive on Tuesday on a cluster of rebellious towns southwest of Baghdad in what has become popularly known as the "triangle of death," the U.S. military said.
"The joint Iraqi-U.S. force captured 32 suspected insurgents, including a number of high-interest individuals, in a series of early-morning raids some 50 miles south of Baghdad," it said in a statement.
The new offensive, dubbed Operation Plymouth Rock in an apparent reference to the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, involves 5,000 American, British and Iraqi forces.
