BAGHDAD — U.S. and Iraqi forces captured three suspected members of a bomb-making cell north of Baghdad, the U.S. military said Sunday.

The men were detained during an air assault Saturday in Tarmiyah, north of Baghdad, the U.S. military said in a statement. The suspects were accused of planting roadside bombs and car bombs in attacks on American and Iraqi troops, it said.

Also Sunday, the U.S. military announced the capture of a suspected financier of insurgents in Kirkuk province. The suspect was taken into custody last Wednesday, another statement said.
