The al-Qaeda member is reported to have sought refuge in the western city of Ramadi, a stronghold of the Sunni insurgency, and was found in possession of explosive belts and large sums of cash, as well as four kilos of gold. In the man's hideout police found false passports, documents pertaining to Al-Qaeda in Iraq, the group led by Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

who keeps supplying them with all the cash and gold?
To: Wiz
Four kilos of gold? How much would that be worth?
To: Wiz
Score one more for the good guys.
Score another loss for the "2nd in Command Group," a large battalion of Al-Q's in Iraq.

One pound = 2.7 kilograms
16 oz. to a pound at 580.00 an ounce.
Equals a huge amount of BLING.

About $80,000 by current standards. Of course the price of gold does increase in times of war. I noticed also the article says nothing about this guy being a 'leader' but hey let's make him the 47th number two. Or would it be the 48th....

At $ 590 per ounce and 35.2 ounces per kilogram it's round about US$ 83,000.
