Al-Jazeera reports: Iraqi officials said on Saturday that investigations had proven the man captured in a raid on Friday was not al-Baghdadi but was "a senior al-Qaeda leader".

"We captured a figure who was a senior al-Qaeda member and we suspected that he was Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, but after initial investigations it was proven it was not Abu Omar al-Baghdadi. But he was a senior al-Qaeda leader," said Qassim al-Moussawi, spokesman of the Baghdad security operation.

Yeah, but al-Baghdid isn't al-Baghdadi either, so that really doesn't mean much. The important part is that they captured a senior member of al Qaeda....we'll know all dozen of his names soon no doubt.
