BAGHDAD, Iraq — Kurdish security forces have captured 15 militants in northern Iraq, including one man believed to be a senior leader of a local Al Qaeda-linked group, an official in a pro-American Kurdish party said Tuesday.

Among those arrested late Monday evening was a man identified as Hemen Banishiri, reportedly the second-in-command for the radical Kurdish group, Ansar al-Islam (search), said Saadi Ahmed, a senior member of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan's (search) political wing.

Folks, I'm sorry. I'm not finding anything about this on the news websites. I'm embarrased. I caught a glimpse of Vestor's program where they were discussing the surrender of the Al Qaeda associate on my way to get a cup of coffee, then the announcement that 20 Al Qaeda were in custody in Iran. Guess I jumped the gun.

I will now take beatings.
