BAGHDAD, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) -- Iraqi security forces detained the son of a key Sunni leader for accusations of displacing Shiite families, a security spokesman said on Wednesday.

　　"Iraqi security forces arrested the defendant Muthanna Adnan al-Dulaimi who is involved in diplacing operations and blowing up the house of Shiite female lawmaker Shatha al-Musawi," Qasim Atta, spokesman of the security plan in Baghdad told reporters.

　　The arrest of Dulaimi comes eight months after the Iraqi troops arrested dozens of Dulaimi's guards along with his other son Mekkiin his house and office in the Adel neighborhood in western Baghdad.

　　Dulaimi is the head of the Iraqi Accordance Front, a major Sunni political bloc with 44 seats in the Iraqi 275-seat parliament.

　　For his part, Dulaimi told Xinhua that his son was detained by an Iraqi Army force at about 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday (1630 GMT).

　　"It is clear that the detention of my son is targeting me and so that I may stop calling for the release of detainees from the Iraqi prisons and then to hurt the political process and national reconciliation," Dulaimi told Xinhua.

　　"We are part of the political process and we hope that the government would respond positively to my call to release my two sons and the 52 guards who were detained previously," Dulaimi said.
