Zarqawi's command structure deteriorating
 The U.S.-led coalition believes it has been whittling the command structure of the most lethal Islamic insurgency group in Iraq. U.S. officials said the military has captured several key leaders of the Tawhid and Jihad group led by Abu Mussib Al Zarqawi. They said the detainees were identified as leading aides of Al Zarqawi, whom the United States regards as the most lethal insurgent in Iraq. Over the last two weeks, at least three senior aides of Al Zarqawi have been captured in northern Iraq. Officials said the military believes that the Tawhid command structure fled from Faluja to northern and western Iraq after the U.S. military invasion of the city in November 2004. On Saturday, the U.S. military announced the capture of a key aide to Al Zarqawi. The military identified the aide as Abdul Aziz Saadoun Ahmed Hamdouni, also known as Abu Ahmed, said to have been arrested in Mosul.Posted by: Dan Darling 2005-01-10 |
