I follow the AQ stuff pretty close and I don't remember seeing anything to even hint that we got a senior AQ member.
I feel I should refute this part of the article....but I'm not quite sure how.
Secret code! We're all gonna die!
Police say they have arrested a prime suspect in the Nov. 8 bombing of the Al-Muhaya residential compound in Riyadh. They have also seized a huge cache of arms, including a surface-to-air missile, an Interior Ministry spokesman said yesterday. “Security agencies have pinpointed the hide-out of an individual belonging to the terrorist cell that carried out the Al-Muhaya attack. He was captured last Wednesday,” the Saudi Press Agency quoted the spokesman as saying.
Al Qaida plans a major suicide attack against a U.S. compound in Saudi Arabia. MENL - U.S. officials said Al Qaida has targeted American interests in the Saudi kingdom for what could be the organization's next round of attacks. The officials said the targets appear to include American-inhabited compounds, companies and the U.S. embassy. "We believe that at least one plan for a major attack on American interests was foiled in Saudi Arabia," an official who deals with security threats in Saudi Arabia said. "We and the Saudis have also collected sufficient information to conclude that Al Qaida is in the advance stage of planning another suicide strike." On Tuesday, the U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia warned of an Al Qaida strike on Western compounds. The embassy said at least one residential complex in Riyad has come under surveillance of suspected Islamic insurgents. The embassy has been closed for a week and scheduled to reopen on Wednesday.

US troops hunting head of Iraqi 'death squad' IOL - United States troops were on the trail of the head of the "death squad" of Saddam Hussein's feared secret police, who was also the deposed Iraqi ruler's personal weapons trainer, a senior police officer told AFP on Thursday. "Since six this morning, the American forces have been searching homes looking for a senior intelligence officer who was the head of the death squad at Mukhabarat headquarters in Baghdad," Mosul police lieutenant Abdullah Mohammed Kazem said. The intelligence agent is called Fawzi Qahtan, a native of the northern city of Mosul, he added. "This officer was a personal acquaintance of (Saddam's number two) Izzat Ibrahim and the special weapons trainer of Saddam Hussein," said Kazem. Saddam was occasionally seen in public firing rifles in the air in celebration and liked to be considered a marksman. Qahtan had been arrested in Britain in 1985 after the murder of an Iraqi dissident but later released in an exchange involving a Briton held in Iraq, the police officer said. "The search has covered three quarters of Mosul and is carrying on," said Kazem. During the search, US forces arrested four people for possession of more than the one weapon allowed by the coalition authorities.
