Iraq Says It Has Captured Key Militant

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - The Iraqi government said Tuesday it has captured a key terror suspect who allegedly confessed to hundreds of beheadings. Ahmed Hussein Dabash Samir al-Batawi was arrested by a terrorist combat unit on Monday in Baghdad, according to the prime minister's office.

The unit also seized documents, cell phones and computers that contained the names and addresses of other wanted terrorists and information on Islamic extremist groups, the government said in a statement.

"Al-Batawi is considered at the top of the terrorist list," the statement said, adding he had "committed the ugliest crimes against innocent civilians especially in Hurriyah neighborhood that witnessed many massacres."

The government said al-Batawi confessed under questioning that he beheaded hundreds of Iraqis in Baghdad and other Iraqi provinces.

Nah, a dull knife would be more appropriate. Preferably wielded by victims' relatives.

***

I don't care who he is. One less terrorist (and let's use that word instead of the namby-pamby word "militant") for us to deal with.

If they're already announcing this capture, then they must be satisfied that the info he had has been fully exploited - which hopefully should mean that a series of further captures has already taken place in the last 48 hours - let's wait and see...

Why in bloody hell is this even IN the newspaper? Now every terrorist on that list will certainly have an opportunity to disappear. Sometimes the news media uses absolutely no common sense at all.

Didn't you get the memo?

FR has deteriorated quite a bit in terms of quality threads.

Cheers.

One does seem to be caught every other week. How many aides/drivers does one man need?

The MSM will not consider this capture important enough to report NOR that he CONFESSED to BEHEADING hundreds of Iraqi's.

However HEARSAY about Marines killing civilians, well that is a MONUMENTAL story that must be reported even though it is NOTHING more than a LEAK about HEARSAY!!!
