Iraq says its forces have arrested one of the leaders of the Al-Qaeda network allegedly responsible for kidnapping Iraqis and foreigners.

A government statement says Sami Ammar Hamid Mahmud, also known as Abu Aqil was arrested two days ago in Baghdad.

The statement also referred to Abu Aqil's cell as managing and leading operations outside Iraq as well as being responsible for kidnapping Iraqis and foreign nationals for ransoms to fund terror acts

Hope they are able to charm and coddle him so he will give up his secrets about plans to ambush more American and Iraqi soldiers.

Do you guys know who this is? As you know, I am unable to distinguish between all of these Arabic names, so I am never sure who it is we are talking about.

Iraq is getting its defense forces in shape. They will need training wheels for a while longer, but I think the Pres has reason to be upbeat this evening.

That's 'cause all the underlings have been blowing themselves up. The leaders would NEVER do that. Cowards.

They can't report it or else they'll be obligated to cover Bush's speech tonight in case he mentions it.
