The U.S. military in Iraq says coalition forces have captured two suspected special groups members in Baghdad.

The military says the two were detained during a raid Wednesday on the home of a suspected weapons facilitator and trainer connected to attacks on coalition and Iraqi security forces.

The special groups designation is used by the military to describe Shi'ite insurgents backed by Iran.

In another development Wednesday, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari says Jordan's King Abdullah plans to soon visit Iraq. He will be the first Arab head of state to visit the country since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.

Zebari said Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is also expected to visit Iraq. He said no date has been set for either trip.
