The cell leader is suspected of also being responsible for a car bomb attack in Suwayrah that killed at least nine and injured more than 50 Iraqi civilians.
The insurgent cell is thought to have also coordinated an attack which destroyed an Iraqi Army headquarters in Suwayrah. Iraqi forces detained four additional suspects during the raid.
