And this from the Associated Press...
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Iraqi police have arrested four people in the killing of American Nicholas Berg, an Iraqi security official said Friday.
The suspects were former members of Saddam Hussein's Fedayeen paramilitary organization, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. They were arrested a week ago in a house in Salaheddin province, north of Baghdad.
The group that was involved in the killing of Berg was led by Yasser al-Sabawi, a nephew of Saddam Hussein, the security official said. He said American intelligence had asked Iraqi authorities to hand over the suspects, but they were still in Iraqi hands.
If this is true, it will be interesting to see if the perpetrators are extradited to the US, or dealt with in Iraq.
UPDATE:
Two of the four have been released:
Of the other two, Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt said: "We have some intelligence that suggests they had knowledge, perhaps some culpability."
But he added it was also possible they were not connected.
