Jughaify was captured in the western province of Anbar, and would be brought to Baghdad for questioning hanging, Khalaf said.
Top Qaeda militant arrested in western Iraq: police---1 hour ago
*************************EXCERPT**************************
RAMADI, Iraq (AFP) — Iraqi police on Wednesday arrested a senior militant and close aide of Al-Qaeda in Iraq chief Abu Ayyub al-Masri in western Iraq's Anbar province, the provincial police chief said.
Major General Tareq al-Youssef said Nazal Sabar al-Jughaify, also known as Abu al-Jarrah, was arrested in the town of Haditha after police ambushed him following a tipoff from local citizens.
"Abu Jarrah is one of the main financiers of Al-Qaeda in Iraq and also a senior lieutenant of Abu Ayyub al-Masri," Youssef told AFP in the provincial capital of Ramadi.
Youssef said Jughaify, an Iraqi, had returned recently from Syria.
Outstanding.
How can this be? There were never any terrorists in Haditha!
Actually, Syria was the first thing I thought of when you asked the western Iraq question. I’m betting there is quite a bit of “interesting” traffic that still goes in and out of Syria.
:’)
He'll be pleading for a water board.
Thanks Ernest.
"Jarrah? Never heard of him. Nothing to see here..."
