MOSUL, Iraq - U.S. and Iraqi forces on Saturday arrested suspected top terror leader in this volatile northern city, police said. The Iraqi man, known as Mullah Mahdi, was detained with his brother, three other Iraqis and a non-Iraqi Arab national, following a brief clash in eastern Mosul, said Iraqi army Maj. Gen. Khalil Ahmed al-Obeidi.
Al-Obeidi said the terror suspect was affiliated with the Ansar al-Sunnah Army, one of Iraq's most feared terror groups, and links to the Syrian intelligence service.
"He was wanted for almost all car bombs, assassinations of high official, beheadings of Iraqi policemen and soldiers and for launching attacks against Multi-National Forces," al-Obeidi said.

Great news. Thanks for ping.
OFF TOPIC: You caught me updating these links:
TREAS.GOV - U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY - From The Office of Public Affairs - JS-2164: "U.S. TREASURY DESIGNATES TWO INDIVIDUALS WITH TIES TO AL QAIDA, UBL Former BIF Leader and al-Qaida Associate Named Under E.O. 13224" (PRESS RELEASE SNIPPET: "The U.S Department of the Treasury today announced the designation of Adel Abdul Jalil Batterjee and Saad Rashed Mohammad al-Faqih for providing financial and material support to al Qaida and Usama bin Laden (UBL). The U.S. is submitting both names to the United Nations 1267 Committee, which will consider adding them to the consolidated list of terrorists tied to al Qaida, UBL and the Taliban. Batterjee and al-Faqih are not linked to each other.") (December 21, 2004)
Nods, thanks.
Good news !
Your sarcasm is well spoken. It is infuriating to hear CBS radio have the story at the top of each hour. Man how I hate those people.
I wonder.
How is it that a top terrorist and mass murderer is captured alive, anyway?
Where I in such a position I would have the last bullet saved for myself.
Where = were.
Did you ever notice that the terrorist leaders prefer capture to dying to collect their virgins?
You don't suppose that's because they know the worst that will happen to them is that someone will pull panties over their head or flush their holy book, do you?
Proof that these "top terrorists" have no personal courage.
Sorry all.
This post is on the wrong thread and I've asked the moderator to remove it.
Because that "jihad" crap is for the uneducated imbeciles, the "leaders" don't believe that 77 virgin B.S. any more than you or I.
