| EFL and to stick to news, not CNN spin on Rumsfeld BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The Iraqi government said its forces captured an insider from Saddam Hussein's ousted regime Tuesday. Fadhil Ibrahim Mahmud al-Mashadani, a former high-ranking member of Saddam's Baath Party, is among "the main facilitators of many terrorist attacks in Iraq," the government said in a statement. Authorities arrested him at a farm northeast of the capital, the statement said. Al-Mashadani led Iraq's military bureau in Baghdad during Saddam's rule. "Al-Mashadani is believed to be personally responsible for coordinating and funding attacks against the Iraqi people, the Iraqi government and the Iraqi security force," the statement said. "He is also suspected of being a critical link between the senior Baathist leaders hiding in Syria and the terrorists within Iraq." |
