Someone thought Foxnews was reporting he was in US custody but I haven't found any explicit statement like that ....did find this :

Al-Qaeda leader in Iraq arrested

************************************

Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, has been arrested in Iraq, according to the country's defence ministry.
 
The arrest occurred in the northern city of Mosul and was reported on al-Arabiya TV late on Thursday.
 
Al-Muhajir was detained in a joint Iraqi-US operation.
He is the successor to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who was killed by a US air attack in 2006.

He called on al Qaeda fighters to provide “a head of an American as a present to the trickster Bush” in a month-long campaign that he called the “Attack of Righteousness”.

Sigh...if this is true, I guess his boys will have to settle with HIS HEAD, when we give it back to 'em.

In the meantime, I imagine all the sub-dude commanders are scattering cause they know he'll give 'em up. The sub-dudes will now be subdued.

Glorious day in "This War that Cannot be Won Militarily" (Hillary's tough wisdom)
