"There was no immediate confirmation or comment from U.S. forces."
More reports.........wanting one from US Forces or sources.
Can you say, “waterboard time”? I know you can.
Mission Accomplished!
Great news. Let’s hope they milk him before they send him to a walk through prison in Yemen.
All expense paid vacation at club Gitmo!!!!
Whatever they do, PLEASE don’t waterboard him!
It would be SO cruel!
He is ONLY responsible for blowing up and maiming thousands of Iraqis, men women and children.
He MUST be treated with all of the protections of the Geneva Convention!
/sarcasm
Wow, this is wonderfull news. And I am sure the fact that he let himself be captured alive will be a real blow to Al Quieda’s prestige in the region. So, if true, then this is probably a much more significant victory even then when we killed Al Zarqawi.
Gee, more bad news for the anti-surge Democrats.
Note to Iraq forces:You question him, don’t turn him over the no waterboard allowed American forces.
Hopefully they also got his lap tops and other vital info.
BEST NEWS I’VE HEARD ALL DAY! WOOHOO!
From Fox News:
***The U.S. military in Baghdad said “we are currently checking with Iraqi authorities to confirm the accuracy of this information.”***
You get the water, I’ve got the board.
By capturing him, the Iraqis have only created more terrorists./s
Mark Steyn just brilliantly pointed out that al-Masri is a foreigner to Iraq (he’s Egyptian), but meanwhile the left’s common complaint is that the U.S. is an unwelcome foreign occupying force.
Obama, Murtha, Kennedy and Pelosi are deeply depressed over this.
Really danged bad news for the socialist dimocrat party and all liberals in the world who demand and want the total defeat of America.
Arrested? What, are the clintons directing the fighting now? Killed should be the descriptive word here.
Baghdad, Iraq (AHN) - The Iraqi Defense Ministry spokesman Mohammed al-Askari claims al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Ayyub al-Masri has been apprehended near Mosul.
According to al Jazeera, al-Masri was detained in a joint Iraqi-U.S. operation. He was caught in the Tayran area in central Mosul, 360km northwest of Baghdad, reportedly after police received a tip off of his location.
While Iraqi officials have confirmed the arrest to media outlets, the United States Defense Department remains silent on this issue for now. The news also ran on al-Arabiya TV and Iraqi state-run media.
