BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A senior leader of an al Qaeda-linked group has been arrested in Iraq, state television Iraqiya said on Friday.
Iraqiya did not say whether U.S. or Iraqi troops had arrested Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, leader of the self-styled Islamic State in Iraq, a body set up by al Qaeda's Iraq wing and other Sunni militant groups in October.

Wonderful news...
Let me tell you, the dems had better wake up, and fast too.
That capture could have been in Chicago, St. Louis, anywhere in the USA. We stop it in Iraq or we will be fighting here.
