4 wanted men nabbed in Falluja

ANBAR / IraqiNews.com: Four wanted men were arrested in northern Falluja city following intelligence reports about their whereabouts, a local police source said on Wednesday. “Those arrested are believed to have launched attacks against security forces in the city,” the source told IraqiNews.com. The source did not provide further details. Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, lies 110 km west of Baghdad. Anbar is the largest province in Iraq geographically. Encompassing much of the country’s western territory, it shares borders with Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Anbar is overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim Arab. Anbar’s main cities are Falluja, the capital Ramadi, Haditha, Hit, Aana and Rutba. The name of the province translates “granaries,” as this region was the primary entrepôt on the western borders of Lakhmid Kingdom. The province was known as Dulaim until 1962 when it was changed to Ramadi. In 1976 it was renamed al-Anbar. SS (P) 1
