The daily published pictures of the two men, saying it interviewed them at their place of detention in the northern Kurdish city of Arbil. The Saudi pair "confessed ... that they came to ... join the jihad (holy war) after the fall of Baghdad" to US-led invasion forces in April 2003, Asharq Al-Awsat quoted Kurdish police general Ismat Ertush as saying.

Not to get too excited. These types of people are being "farm raised" daily in SA's Wahabbist schools. There'll be plenty of backfill.
P.S. That's what happens when you address the symptoms, not the root problem.
