With all of the news about the persecution of the Christians recently in Mosul, U.S. troops bore down and captured six jihadists in Mosul and it appears that three of them are linked to foreign terror groups. Here's the details from Khaleej Times:
More than likely, the Iraqis are learning a valuable lesson in Mosul in that they did a good job of gutting Mosul of al Qaeda in Iraq forces a number of months ago but when you do that, you have to entrench yourself in a place like that or the vermin will come back. That's my guess as to what has happened in Mosul.
Iraq's Prime Minister Maliki promised an investigation into the Mosul attacks on Christians but let's face it....he doesn't need an investigation to reveal that his troops relaxed in this city and what he probably will find is some insurgents wormed their way into some of the local police force.
The US military said it had detained on Monday six suspected insurgents in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, the scene of some of the worst violence against Christians in five years.
It said in a statement that three of those seized during operations in the city are believed to have links to foreign insurgency groups.
"One of the wanted men is believed to be in contact with a foreign terrorist responsible for carrying out attacks against Iraqi and coalition forces," it added.
The arrests came as thousands of Christians have fled their homes over the past few days in the troubled northern city considered by US and Iraqi commanders to be the nation's most dangerous and a last stronghold of Al-Qaeda.

US troops seize six suspected rebels in Mosul
BAGHDAD - The US military said it had detained on Monday six suspected insurgents in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, the scene of some of the worst violence against Christians in five years.
It said in a statement that three of those seized during operations in the city are believed to have links to foreign insurgency groups.
"One of the wanted men is believed to be in contact with a foreign terrorist responsible for carrying out attacks against Iraqi and coalition forces," it added.
The arrests came as thousands of Christians have fled their homes over the past few days in the troubled northern city considered by US and Iraqi commanders to be the nation's most dangerous and a last stronghold of Al-Qaeda.
Iraqi commanders have yet to identify who is behind the string of attacks that officials have said forced more than 900 families in the community to take flight to villages north and east of Mosul.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki ordered an investigation into the attacks and pledging to take all steps necessary to protect the threatened community.
