Authorities say US and Iraqi forces have arrested a top operator of Iraq's Al Qaeda group.
Interior Ministry spokesman Major General Abdel Karim Khalaf says US forces parachuted on the Baghdad house of Abdullah Juburi in an overnight operation.
"He is one of the dangerous criminals in Al Qaeda," Major General Khalaf said.
He says Iraqi ground forces, including the rapid intervention force, raided Mr Juburi's house as US troops parachuted into the area, Arab Jubur, on the southern outskirts of Baghdad.

If we really parachuted, that's an interesting one. Anyone else thinking HALO specops?
What's a "pilosa"?
I just googled this guy's name and came up with someone of the same name who was mentioned in news stories as a colonel in the Iraqi National Guard. Not the same guy I hope.
Abdullah Juburi are such common names his name might as well be Omar Badr.

MR Juburi??????????? I guess we should call Bin Laden MR.
Jeez. I feel sorry for the colonel, then.

Top Al Qaeda operator…. OPERATOR?!
How long before these treasonous MSM SOB’s start calling them “entrepreneurs”?
I'll guess that it is a different guy.
Sounds like it, but I suspect it was a fastrope operation.
Governors are provincial, aren't they? Is Tikrit in Diyala Province?
Not sure..
Me thinks an airborne unit wanted to get that nice little star above the wings.
HALO! Special Forces or Delta, most likely.
I LOVE IT!!
The combat jump star is not the one above the wings, or canopy actually. 1st combat jump star goes on the risers, is smaller and of a different color.
The star above the wings refers to jumpmaster status.
