Baghdad, May 17 – Three members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards were arrested by police after a gun-battle in a northern Baghdad district, an Iraqi weekly wrote in its latest edition.

A statement had been distributed in the district of al-Azimiyah regarding the clashes and the subsequent arrests, the weekly al-Masar reported.

The three were arrested along with a number of other insurgents, the report added.

In March, United States Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld accused Tehran of sending elite members of the Revolutionary Guards into Iraq to cause harm to the future of that country.
