US soldiers cuff blindfolded Iraqi men during Operation Casablanca, in the Dora district of southern Baghdad Monday. About 500 US soldiers in combat vehicles swooped before dawn on a seven-kilometre stretch of farmland in the district in search of suspects involved in deadly attacks on US troops, rounding up 52 people, including 39 women and children, for interrogation. The military later released 50 of the detainees. PHOTO: AFP
