Iraq says aide to Zarqawi killed, two arrested
2004-12-14
BAGHDAD (AFP) - An aide to Iraq's most-wanted man, Jordanian Islamist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been killed in Iraq and two others captured, Prime Minister Iyad Allawi said. "I have been told that an individual by the name of Hassan Ibrahim Farhan Zyda from Zarqawi's group has been killed and that two of his deputies have been arrested," Allawi told the interim national assembly. The two detainees were suspected to have "beheaded innocents," he added, in a possible reference to the murders of hostages that have been claimed by Zarqawi's Al-Qaeda linked group.

#8  Hopefully, the Iraquis will be able to obtain useful information out of the two captures on the whereabouts of Zarquawi. Hope the endgame is near as lex says.

#7  Leaddog, please don't bold everything. It makes your posts very hard to read. Harder still to take seriously, if you don't think your words will stand on their own, 'k?

#6  The Hassan Ibrahim Zyda Link leads to a page with only a Title. Is there more information? This sounds great!

#4  I guess being an aide to Zarqawi is like being one of the red-shirted security men in the original Star Trek series.

#2  I'd settle for al-zarqawi with terminal aids.

#1  Wow. With all the aides he's had, the red tape must of been horrific. We've certainly killed or captured a bunch. Kind of like a boy in every port.
