Alleged al-Qaida-linked Leader Captured

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Iraqi forces captured the leader of an al-Qaida-affiliated terrorist cell allegedly responsible for carrying out a string of beheadings in Iraq, the government said, and 30 people were killed in a string of bloody attacks, among them three American soldiers.

The government identified the captured cell leader as Mohamed Najam Ibrahim. It said he was arrested in Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of Baghdad, but gave no date for the arrest.

Officials said Ibrahim's operation was linked to Jordanian-born terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who leads a shadowy insurgency affiliated with Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network.

Ibrahim carried out beheadings with his brother, the government said. Officials said he was being interrogated by authorities for information they hoped would lead to other arrests.

Hey now, he's only "alleged". Try to be fair and impartial like the AP. *Eye roll*

What, you didn't catch him with a butcher knife in one hand, and a decapitated head in the other?
