The word is getting around;

From the link at post #1:

The Americans declined to identify the suspect. But the discovery of the disc coincides with the arrest of Hassan Ghul, a Pakistani described by American officials at the time as a courier for the Qaeda network. Mr. Ghul is believed to be the first significant member of that network to have been captured inside Iraq.

We are cleaning them out!

I really like this headline . Even though this is "Old news" thought I would see if they would let it be in Breaking news!

Some serious reading:

Trivia time: The discovery of the disc also seems to coincide with the capture of Husam Al-Yemeni...

JANUARY 23, 2004 : (REPORT : HUSAM AL-YEMENI, AN ANSAR AL-ISLAM LEADER ASSOCIATED WITH ZARQAWI, IS CAPTURED) WASHINGTON -- U.S. forces in Iraq captured a leader of the insurgency who is believed to be a close associate of Abu Musab Zarqawi, described by some as a key link between the al-Qaida terrorist network and toppled Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, a senior American official said Friday.
U.S. troops captured Husam al-Yemeni last Thursday, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. He is described by U.S. officials as the leader of an insurgency cell in Fallujah, west of Baghdad. The official said al-Yemeni is the highest-level member of Ansar al-Islam captured so far. The group comprises mainly ethnic Kurds from northern Iraq with alleged ties to al-Qaida.
Zarqawi is a high-priority target for U.S. forces in Iraq. He is a Jordanian operative the CIA describes as a close associate of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. Zarqawi is suspected of coordinating anti-U.S. operations in Iraq, although his whereabouts are unknown.
The official who disclosed al-Yemeni's capture on Friday said he could provide no more details, including the location where the prisoner was caught inside Iraq. - "Insurgent leader captured by U.S. said to be linked to al-Qaida," by Robert Burns, Associated Press, 01/23/04
