The U.S. military has apologized for arresting eight Iranian nationals in Iraq. The group includes two diplomats. They were seized in Baghdad, handcuffed and blindfolded. The eight were released after Iraqi officials intervened. The group was part of an official delegation in Iraq to discuss electricity cooperation. On Wednesday, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus, called the arrests “regrettable.”
