BAGHDAD, Iraq Iraq's leader says there is now one less militant group operating in his country.

Prime Minister Ayad Allawi (EE'-yahd ah-LAH'-wee) says key members of a group called Mohammed's Army are under arrest, thanks to the current offensive around Fallujah.

Allawi tells Al-Arabiya television that the group has worked with Iraq's most wanted terrorist, Abu Musab Zarqawi (AH'-boo MOO'-sahb zahr-KOW'-ee). But Mohammed's Army was apparently dangerous on its own as well.

Allawi says the group killed and beheaded a number of foreigners and Iraqis. In addition, the prime minister says the group was planning to destroy Fallujah by blowing up some key sites in the city.
