TAJI – Iraqi Security Forces conducted an early morning raid Aug. 1 in Kirkuk that resulted in the capture of a suspected key leader of the terrorist criminal network of al-Qaeda in Iraq.
The targeted suspect is believed to be responsible for a vehicle born improvised explosive device attack in Kirkuk on July 16 that killed more than 85 civilians and injured more than 180. With U.S. Special Forces as advisors, the Iraqi Security Forces also detained four suspects in addition to the primary target.
”This successful mission is another demonstration of the committment and resolve to stopping violent criminal elements and ensuring the safety of the population,” a senior U.S. Special Forces commander stated.
No Iraqi or U.S. Forces were injured during the operation.

It doesn’t mention the leader’s nationality, but I have to wonder if it’s another Iranian.
