BAGHDAD, May 24 (KUNA) -- Government security forces arrested a key figure in the terrorist "Liwa Al-Noman battalion" in the town of Al-Ramadhi in western Iraq and captured Kamil Al-Aswadi, a close aide to Abu Musaab Al-Zarqawi, chief of another terrorist group, in the southern city of Samara', according to an official statement issued on Tuesday.
The statement said Al-Ramadhi arrest was based on intelligence sources who helped to capture Mohammed Daham Hamadi during a raid attack by security forces in Baghdad yesterday.
"Mohammed Daham was involved in expiatory acts and was leading the terrorist battalion of "Liwa Al-Noman" which is responsible for several roadside bombs that targeted innocent civilians and Iraqi security personnel in Al-Ramadhi," the statement said.

This guy was a terrorists battalion commander so he was pretty big cheese. Now if the Iraqis can apply some pressure maybe they can get some more high level guys.
Sammara is a pretty bad area so maybe this will help keep some of our guys/gals safer.
