BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces captured a senior al-Qaeda leader and two others during raid Sunday morning in Baghdad.
Coalition Forces identified the man as the gatekeeper to the al-Qaeda emir of Baghdad. He has alleged ties to several senior al-Qaeda members and is reportedly linked to a number of mass casualty vehicle-borne improvised explosive device attacks in the Baghdad area.
He was detained along with another known al-Qaeda VBIED cell leader and one other suspect.
“This is a significant step in our efforts to disrupt the VBIED network and their devastating attacks against the Iraqi people,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson.

Maybe this wasn’t early enough to get into the Sunday Editorial from the NYT about how the surge is a total failure already (even though its only weeks old). Just like the NYT couldn’t managed to include the facts about that female sailor who ‘thought’ she served in Iraq and was raped there. Its so Clintonian that the facts don’t have to get in the way of their conclusions.

"Is the old media still talking about britney shaving her head?" Thats how you knew things were going well in Iraq. Britney and Anna Nicole were the only stories the DBM ran for 2 months.

He has alleged ties to several senior al-Qaeda members Please tell me that the 'alleged' is there for the sake of accuracy, and not because some newspaper hopes this guy doesn't sue them.
