Iraq's Deputy Parliament Speaker Arrested

(Baghdad) Naseer Ayaef, Deputy Parliament Speaker and a high-ranking member of the Iraqi Islamic Party, was arrested by U.S. Forces in a dawn raid of his Baghdad home. Details are sketchy and it's not clear why he was arrested. What is clear is that Ayaef is a senior member of the Iraqi Islamic Party which withdrew from the interim government in protest of the assault on Fallujah. The story is developing.
