BAGHDAD - Iraq security forces have captured a senior insurgent leader related to Izzat Ibrahim, one of the most sought-after men in the country, the government said on Sunday.

Hashim Hussein Radhan al-Jabouri, a nephew of Ibrahim’s, was captured north of Baghdad on March 7, the government said in a statement. He is believed to have commanded a militant cell in the Zaab river region of northeastern Iraq.

Jabouri, a former officer in Saddam Hussein’s intelligence services, received funding from Ibrahim to set up his network and carry out insurgent operations, according to the statement.

Ibrahim, one of Saddam’s top aides, is the most senior member of the former regime still at large. He is number six on the US military’s list of the 55 most-wanted Iraqis, with a $10 million reward offered for his capture.

The Iraqi government has claimed several breakthroughs against the two-year-old insurgency in recent weeks, including the capture of senior members of the former Baath Party.

Over the past year, US and Iraqi forces have also detained several members of Ibrahim’s extended family, and claimed at one point to have captured Ibrahim himself, but he remains on the run.

The government said Jabouri was involved chiefly in operations against Iraqi security forces, as well as helping foreign fighters to enter the country to join the insurgency.

Ibrahim, one of Saddam’s top aides, is the most senior member of the former regime still at large.

This is how it's done: tighten the noose. Just like bin Laden, Sadr, and Zarqawi, just keep the screws torquing.
