Iraqi-U.S. combat units during their security mission in Baghdad. They said
the combat units have begun to dismantle Al Qaida cells in the city, now
divided into 10 zones."I can say that all the zones have been secured by Iraqi and American
forces that are seeking to eliminate Al Qaida elements and death squads,"
Capt. Eric Clark, a U.S. military spokesman, said.Clark said the flight of Al Qaida cells from Baghdad has led to a
decrease in attacks on Shi'ites in the capital. He did not provide details.Over the last month, officials said that under Operation Law Enforcement
more than 100 Al Qaida operatives were killed or captured in the Baghdad
area. They said the detained operatives included aides in the Al Qaida
