Great another adviser/associate/deputy.

Sounds like a semi-big fish. Of course, they all sound like big-fish. Anyone good FReepers out there know something about this guy?

A former Iraqi general believed to be Jordanian extremist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's "military adviser" was arrested west of Baghdad.

Abed Dawood Suleiman and his son, former army captain Raed Abed Dawood, were picked up in a morning raid on their house in Khalidiya, west of Baghdad, a defense ministry source said Wednesday.

More good news - "A former Iraqi general believed to be Jordanian extremist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's "military adviser" was arrested west of Baghdad."

... can the MSM handle all this news of terrorists getting captured?

[ghost of nixon]

so they finally decided to go to their house & arrest them - interesting tactic

Did we get the number 3 guy again? We always seem to get the number 3 guy. Good catch regardless, God bless our troops.

I think this is Abu Jalal.

Found this post article and in it they talk to a Former General in Saddams Army who is in this Mohammeds Army.... his alias is Abu Jalal.

Here..

Wait....I thought al Qaeda had no links to the former Iraqi regime.

Now that the talk has died down about an injured or dead Zarqawi, what do you now think about his condition and role in the terror attacks? If he is incapacitated or dead, would this "big fish" be in line to run the show? Or is he merely a coalition member of the terror campaign, not in Zarq's inner circle?

"He is a big fish..."

Outstanding catch, gentlemen! Bless the soldiers.

It seems to have become very quiet on the Zarqawi hunt....something is not doubt going on under the radar. This guy would not be the one to replace Zarqawi. Think of Zarqawis network as a giant umbrella and this group Mohammads Army is one group under that umbrella. And this former general is a (section)leader.

I'll bet this raid took place a couple of days ago ....and they are only announcing it today so they had time to drill him for info..........they are probably right now rolling up this Mohammads Army as I type.

He is not on Centcom's Most Wanted List or the Deck of Cards

WhoHoo!! Good job Troops!
