BAGHDAD, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- U.S. troops killed six suspected members of al-Qaida and captured 14 others in weekend operations in Iraq, the military said Sunday.

Coalition troops killed four militants Saturday during an operation in the Diyala River Valley near Muqdadiya, a military spokesman said, and afterward found a stockpile of machine guns, bombs and rocket-propelled grenade launchers, CNN reported.

During a follow-up operation Sunday, troops again fought with insurgents, killing two and capturing seven, including one man wearing a suicide bomb vest, the military said. Coalition forces also captured six suspected terrorists in a separate operation in Mosul Sunday, the military said.

Among those captured Saturday was the suspected operator of a center in Yusifiya where women are allegedly trained to be suicide bombers.

Also Sunday, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki announced the government will make a payment of $800 to families displaced by fighting along the Turkish border, CNN reported.
