Zarqawi bombmaker named
Coalition forces in Iraq killed an aide of suspected Al-Qaeda operative Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and arrested several other people in a raid last week, a US general told AFP Tuesday. "There was a terrorist stakeout of Zarqawiâs at Al-Ramadi that we were able to raid and kill one of his operatives and arrest others," Major-General Charles Swannick said. Swannick, commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, said items including suicide vests, bomb-making equipment and passports were seized in the raid on February 19. He was confirming a report in the Baghdad daily newspaper that a Zarqawi deputy it named as Nidal Arabiyat Agha Hamza was killed in an operation conducted last Thursday north of Baghdad.
