Good News from Iraq

[Ice]

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Al Qaeda's number two operative in Iraq, Hamed Juma Faris al-Suaidi, has been arrested, the U.S. military and Iraq's national security adviser announced Sunday.

Al-Suaidi, also known as Abu Rana and Abu Humam, is said to be No. 2 in the terrorist group al Qaeda in Iraq, behind Abu Ayyub al-Masri.

Al-Masri succeeded Abu Musab al-Zarqawi after he was killed during a U.S. airstrike in June.


"We continued to track him down [in the Salaheddin province] and then he moved to north of Baquba in mid-June," al-Rubaie said. "He was arrested without any harm to civilians."

The security adviser added that Al-Suaidi was "directly responsible" for Haitham al-Badri, the man believed to have been the mastermind of the Askariya Mosque bombing in Samarra in February.

Hmm, I'm starting to think you're part of that $20 million Pentagon funded project to bring good new to the forefront. :inquisitive:

I'm not faulting you of course. :2thumbsup:

And of course these will all get caught since they don't watch the news? :inquisitive:

How exactly will their watching the news keep us from finding out their identities? ~:confused:

In fact, it apparently isnt keeping them from being captured either:
Al-Rubaie said al-Saeedi gave information that led to the capture or death of 11 other top al-Qaida in Iraq figures and nine lower-level members. He said those arrested included non-Iraqi Arabs, but would not give any further information for security reasons.link (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060904/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq)
