BAGHDAD, Nov. 11 (UPI) -- Iraqi security forces arrested 10 suspects in a search for al-Qaida in Iraq leaders in Mosul, Baghdad and Ad Duluiyah, military officials Wednesday.

In Ad Duluiyah, about 50 miles north of Baghdad, Iraqi police and U.S. advisers Wednesday arrested four suspects after a joint search for al-Qaida members involved in suicide attacks, Multi-National Force-Iraq said in a release.

In Baghdad, five suspects were arrested Wednesday for allegedly making homemade bombs that were to be attached to vehicles.

In Mosul, one suspect was arrested Tuesday as an alleged accomplice to a weapons smuggler working primarily in northern Iraq, military officials said.
