DEBKAfile discloses: Zarqawi’s death leaves Wariya Arbili as the most senior al Qaeda player in Iraq. He is chief of al Qaeda’s second largest affiliate in Iraq, Ansar al-Sunna, an organization which controls large tracts of the country - especially in parts of Kurdistan - with a foothold in Kirkuk and Mosul as well as Tal Afar to the north and sections of the Sunni triangle.
Earlier, DEBKAfile disclosed: Zarqawi’s death leaves Wariya Arbili as the most senior al Qaeda player in Iraq. He is chief of al Qaeda’s second largest affiliate in Iraq, Ansar al-Sunna, an organization which controls large tracts of the country - especially in parts of Kurdistan - with a foothold in Kirkuk and Mosul as well as Tal Afar to the north and sections of the Sunni triangle.
DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources reveal that a quarrel which flared recently between Arbili and Zarqawi led to Osama bin Laden naming a new worldwide operations chief with authority over both. He is an Iraqi from the north, known only by his nom de guerre, Abdulhadi al-Iraqi, and he replaces Abu Farj al-Libi who was captured by Pakistani forces.
Bin Laden’s choice of an indigenous Iraqi ops chief pointed to the high importance the al Qaeda leader attaches to the Iraq warfront for the future of his organization. Abdulhadi now faces the urgent task of bringing order to al Qaeda’s ranks, which are packed with foreign adherents, and Iraqi affiliates to avert a bloody power struggle among commanders.
I didn't know that they've ever been accurate!
Nice try Little DEBBIE-KA.

Here's the Michael Yon article
Thanks Fair Opinion.
Who's next for a transfer to the Martyr Department?
I don't know that they've ever been wrong!
The problem is the kind of stuff Debka gets exclusives on is not the kind of stuff you are likely to ever get an official confirmation on.
How many scenarios did Debka report for WMD prior to the Iraq war? Were they transferred to Syria? Were they transferred to Iran? What did Russia advise Iraq on?
We still don't know whether Debka was right or wrong.
By the time the truth is known, I've forgotten what it was that Debka said.
"What does his MYSPACE profile say?"
He likes long walks in the park, cheese steaks and enjoys a good Ludlum novel. He is looking for 72 virgins who won't drive him crazy. He prefers the AK to the AR, The RPG to the Law and aspires to one day blow himself up in the throes of lovemaking with a ewe named Clara.
Second, and so has James Bond. FWIW in the movies,
Goldfinger introduced .... lasers far before they were everywhere.
And Dr. No introduced ...... desk top copiers.
What Q introduced became commonplace within decades.
He likes long walks with his camel. He had to murder his sister and mother for various violations and he drives a red and white Volvo. He is a skilled bomb maker, having blown off only one hand in many hours of bomb construction.
He admires Mullah Omar and he continues to keep an eye out for him. For relaxation, he hides out in his spider hole and networks with all his friends who elected him to this exalted post he now commands.
This SOB just had all his restful sleep interupted till he meets same fate as Zarqawi......sux to be him!
Bwa ha ha ha! What freggin` jackasses. And this putz is taking this position voluntarily? Talk about living in paranoia! Hey Wariya, what`s that whistling coming from the sky?
The name in the headline and the name in the article are completely different.
