Allawi Announces Arrest of Militant Group
Yahoo / AP ^

Posted on 11/15/2004 9:13:38 AM PST by LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The leader of a militant group involved in beheading hostages and other attacks has been arrested and the group was broken up, Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi said Monday.

Allawi identified the group as Jaish Muhammad, Arabic for Muhammad's Army. The group "has been arrested ... We arrested their leader," Allawi said, identifying him as Moayad Ahmed Yasseen, also known as Abu Ahmed.

Muhammad's Army was known to have cooperated with Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and al-Qaida and Saddam loyalists and was responsible for killing and beheading a number of Iraqis, Arabs and foreigners in Iraq (news - web sites), Allawi said.

"They were planning to destroy Fallujah...by blowing up important positions," he said. "They have extensions abroad that I cannot talk about now." Allawi did not say how many members of the group were captured or what kidnappings the group has been involved in.

The militant group was arrested during U.S.-led military operations in Fallujah, the television station said.

Allawi also said officials had arrested members of another group, whom he did not name. He said they have been detained and will be interrogated.

The U.S. military has said in the past that Jaish Mohammed appears to be an umbrella group for former intelligence agents, army, security officials, and Baath Party members.

Abu Ahmed was involved in the talks back in Oct 2004 trying to head off the take down of Falluja.

Looks like he was correct in being concerned about our Marines and the Iraqis coming after his Islamodumbos.

RE: Abu Ahmed

Somehow I think this is another guy. Someone heading a group that is responsible for beheadings, etc. seems an unlikely negotiating delegate. I think it may just be a coincidence.

"Seems like we have received LOTS of intel..."

I expect the 1,000 captured Fallujah terrorists are 'singing-like-birds.'

What a surprise!  A band of low scumbag blood lusting psycho killers named after Muhammad, the pedophile prophet. I'm shocked!

Be interesting to see how long these foreign insurgent terrorists have been in Fallujah? What was the relationship all along? and how are liberals going to feel knowing that international terrorism is a reality as they continue to be on the wrong side of history?

It will be unravelling much faster now, thanks to our courageous and ingenious armed forces, their leadership, and the grace of God.

Those who love torturing others, are usually terrified of getting a hangnail themselves... this 'interrogation' proceeding will be even more productive than we can imagine.

These evildoers connections to the greater arab world and support from the worldwide ummah of Islam, will do much to help us root out and KILL the rest of them, wherever the scummies try to hide.

His head should be placed on a platter and sent to that fatboy in a headscarf, Al-Sadr.

First let's put panties on his head.

Plausible. Saddam had a large infrastructure for these sorts - they didn't just disappear

I hope they engage in "Hostile Diplomacy" with these perps.

If this fails, we can always resort to "Diplomacy with Extreme Prejudice".

Somewhere between the 2, it becomes a matter of voltage.

I say get as much info out of him as we can through any means necessary, and then when we are done with him, behead him with a butter knife.
