Iraqi forces hunt militants as attacks kill six

Iraqi security forces hunted for militants and weapons in the Baghdad area on Sunday, while attacks killed six people, including three soldiers and a judge, officials said. Iraqi authorities are struggling to contain the worst violence to hit the country in five years. About one thousand people died in attacks last month.
The defence ministry said security forces arrested 32 people wanted under an anti-terrorism law and detained a further 141 suspects over a period of 24 hours, during operation "Avenge the Martyrs" in areas north and west of Baghdad.
