The U.S. military is holding twenty people suspected of links to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network, the commander of American forces said Tuesday.
"Currently, we have about 20 who are suspected of being from al-Qaeda," Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez told reporters.
"We are still questioning them" and have not determined absolutely whether they are members of Osama bin Laden's network.
Meanwhile, Sanchez also said that although attacks against his troops have increased, the insurgents know "that from a military point of view, they can't defeat us." (Albawaba.com)
