Iraq arrests politicians and government officials in anti-corruption crackdown

BAGHDAD, June 28 (Reuters) - Iraqi security forces arrested politicians, lawmakers and senior government officials early on Sunday in what security and legal sources described as the start of a broader anti-corruption campaign ordered by Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi.Elite Counter Terrorism Service (CTS) units raided the homes of politicians and senior officials inside Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone in the early hours of Sunday and made several arrests, the sources said, declining to be named because they are not authorised to speak to media on sensitive issues.
