At 2 a.m. Thursday, troops formed a cordon around the outer perimeter of a 9-block area. About 200 houses and outlying buildings were searched before the sweep ended at 7 a.m.
In one house, a large stack of brand-new Iraqi currency was found, the military said. At another, a soldier emerged carrying a camouflage military uniform top.
In an unrelated incident early Thursday on the Tigris River north of Tikrit, U.S. forces saw a boat being loaded with cases of unidentified materials and fired a flare in warning.
The Americans came under fire from boat and fired back; they said they believed they killed everybody aboard.
