Ok, but is he an advisor to Zarqawi himself, on military matters? This story suggests it. If so, would he not be more than a section leader? I am just asking, not disputing anything.

Sort of.

Zarqawi appointed several people to head different terror groups...this gentleman was one of those appointees. There are several people above this guy....consider him....middle management.

So there are military advisors CLOSER to Zarq than this guy...got
it. Thanks!

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

It probably was not their house but a safe house.

Maybe somebody found that a trail of exploding cars came from there...

"Abed Dawood Suleiman is considered to be Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's military aide in charge of Mohammed's Army," one of the armed groups linked with Iraq's deadly insurgency, the source said.

Mohammed's Army is also known as Jaish Mohammed. There are quite a few articles on FR about the group Jaish Mohammed.
