BAGHDAD: Iraqi authorities deployed security forces around the main rallying 
point for Sunni protests in western Iraq overnight and say the area has become 
a haven for terrorists.       

The head of police for the western Anbar region, Hadi Arzeij, announced the 
operation in a televised press conference Saturday.

The Defense Ministry said in a separate statement that it took actions 
overnight to block al-Qaida infiltrators and prevent the flow of weapons and 
explosives to the main protest site in Ramadi. Witnesses say a large number of 
security forces deployed around the protest area before dawn before withdrawing 
later.

For more than two months, a sit-in site along a highway in Ramadi has been the 
center of protests by Iraqi Sunnis against the Shiite-led government
