Iranian officials detained in Iraq, U.S. official says
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- U.S. forces detained six Iranian officials for questioning in the northern Iraqi city of Irbil, seat of the Kurdish regional government, an American official said Thursday.
But the official disputes accounts from Iran that the troops broke open a consulate gate and conducted a raid.
"No shots were fired. No altercation ensued," the U.S. official. "It was a knock on the door and 'Please come out.' "

the U.S. military said the individuals were "suspected of being closely tied to activities targeting Iraqi and coalition forces" and that their arrests came "without incident."
