The U.S. military says Iraqi troops have detained the son of a prominent Sunni leader during a raid in Baghdad.
The arrest of Adnan al-Dulaimi's son Muthanna comes eight months after the detention of another son prompted an outcry among Sunni politicians.
The military's statement on Wednesday says the detention took place the night before but that American troops were not involved.
Al-Dulaimi is the head of the largest Sunni Arab police bloc the National Accordance Front. He insists his son is not involved in politics.
He told al-Sharqiyah television in a telephone interview late Tuesday that "the targeting of me and the detention of my sons will hurt the political process and national reconciliation."
