DUBAI, March 9 (Reuters) - The leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, has been arrested in Iraq, the Arabic television station al-Arabiya reported on Friday, quoting the Iraqi Defence Ministry.

Arabiya said Muhajir, successor to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, had been detained in a joint Iraqi-U.S. operation in Mosul in northern Iraq.

It can't be true.

Al Qaeda is NOT in Iraq.

The MSM told me so.

[txhurl]

Running and hiding has aged him quite a bit.

[Blogger]

Bush’s fault.

[Red_Devil 232]

FNC just reported the arrest.

[mickey finn]

Nope, Global Warming.

May he burn in Hell after he is water boarded of all his intel.

Article snippet from your link: “The US military did not immediately confirm the arrest.”

He called on al Qaeda fighters to provide “a head of an American as a present to the trickster Bush” in a month-long campaign that he called the “Attack of Righteousness”.

Sigh...if this is true, I guess his boys will have to settle with HIS HEAD, when we give it back to 'em.

In the meantime, I imagine all the sub-dude commanders are scattering cause they know he'll give 'em up. The sub-dudes will now be subdued.

Glorious day in "This War that Cannot be Won Militarily" (Hillary's tough wisdom)

CAIRO, Egypt —  Al-Arabiya television reports it has identified the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq and the network broadcast his photograph.

The Dubai-based network, citing an Iraqi police official, said the real name of Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, who allegedly heads the Islamic State of Iraq, is Hamid Dawoud al-Zawi.

I'm sure it's just a matter of time before the MSM starts claiming he was just an Al-Qaeda wannabe.
