Thirteen suspects allegedly linked to bomb-making networks were arrested in Kirkuk and near Abu Gharayb and Muqdadiyah, Iraqi security forces said.

The 13 were arrested Monday in three operations targeting bomb makers who primarily attach explosives to moving vehicles, the Multi-National Force Iraq said in a release.

Of the two suspects arrested in Kirkuk, one allegedly was involved in a June 20 attack in Taza that killed more than 90 people.

Near Muqdadiyah, two terror suspects were arrested during an unsuccessful search for a man alleged to have financial connections to al-Qaida in Iraq, the release said.

The remaining suspects were arrested Monday during a search of several buildings near Abu Gharayb. Those suspects allegedly confessed to having contacts with al-Qaida in Iraq, the release said.
