Multi-national forces raided a safe house Saturday in Zanazil, near Mosul, resulting in the detention of four terrorists and the death of a key local leader of al Qaida in Iraq.
Abu Zayd, identified as the current al Qaida in Iraq military Emir of Mosul, was killed in the raid.
Information received from concerned citizens and collected through intelligence assets led multi-national forces to the location.
Upon arrival at the safe house, multi-national forces immediately detained four terrorists located outside the house. At the same time, multi-national forces shot and killed an unknown terrorist who was engaging them from a nearby field. The unknown individual was positively identified as Abu Zayd.
As the key al Qaida in Iraq leader for Mosul, Abu Zayd was responsible for coordinating all terrorist operations in the city, which included kidnappings, extortion, murder, intimidation of Mosul citizens, and attacks against Iraqi security and Coalition forces. Abu Zayd also directed the use of foreign fighters within his organization.
The recent capture of Abu Talha, the recent death of Abu Zubayr, and now the death of Abu Zayd leaves only two terrorist leaders remaining to control the al Qaida in Iraq network in Mosul.

Reports of this type are extremely hopeful. If we had enough of these tips, we could presumably win the war (pacify Iraq) rather quickly.

This raises a question about the formation of Arab names. I believe that "Abu" means Father - it is a honorific term, not related to his given name. Many names are followed by a city reference eg x s al Tikrit. Most of the Abu names are not given names and there are often a series of names or possibly aliases. Can anyone give a synopsis of what the cultural customs are?
