US hands over last detainee to Iraq
None
The United States Friday handed over its last detainee in Iraq to Iraqi authorities, a White House official told Reuters, after months of failed efforts by Washington to convince Baghdad to allow his extradition for trial.
White House National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said Washington had received assurances that Ali Mussa Daqduq, a suspected Hezbollah operative, would be tried for his crimes. Daqduq is accused of orchestrating a 2007 kidnapping that resulted in the killing of five US military personnel. (Reuters)
