Iraqi Officials: US Forces Raid Iranian Consulate, Detain Five
Iraqi officials say U.S. forces have detained five Iranians during a raid on Tehran's diplomatic mission in the northern city of Irbil. The U.S. military issued a statement Thursday, saying six people were taken into custody in the Kurdish region, but did not mention raiding the Iranian consulate.
Local officials said the raid was carried out in the pre-dawn hours and that American troops also confiscated computers and documents. Iran's official news agency says Tehran has lodged a protest to Iraq's foreign ministry.
The United States accuses Iran of involving in Iraq's sectarian violence.
