BAGHDAD, Sept. 12 (UPI) -- Coalition forces in Iraq reported Friday the capture of two suspected members of the Kata'ib Hezbollah and nine more violent Iraqi deaths were noted.

Kata'ib Hezbollah is believed to be supported by Iran's Islamic Republican Guard Corps, the Multi-National Force said in a statement.

The MNF also reported a grave site was found in a field south of Ghalibyah, containing bodies of two teenage females and two Iraqi soldiers who appeared to have been dead for about a year and a half.

Five Iraqis were killed and seven others were injured in violent actions in northern Iraqi city of Mosul, KUNA reported. A booby-trapped car exploded near a police patrol at the cultural group area north of Mosul, killing two while three people died in a home invasion by masked gunmen east of Mosul.
