Iraq announces arrest of senior Zarqawi aide in Ramadi
2006-05-16
A senior aide to Al-Qaeda's leader in Iraq Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi was arrested in Al-Ramadi in possession of documents and pictures showing him alongside Al-Zarqawi himself, the Iraqi government announced Monday. The relevant Interior Ministry statement said "terrorist Salah Hussein Abdelrazzaq was arrested Sunday evening" in Al-Ramadi and had in his possession a mobile telephone storing photos showing him and Al-Zarqawi.

The ministry issued another statement which reported arrest of "terrorist Umar Ahmad Saleh, aka Abu Jibreel, a Tawhid and Jihad leader, in western Baghdad Monday morning." The statement added "the terrorist had in his possession weapons including RPG shells and rockets, automatic machineguns, mortars, three barrels of TNT, remote control devices, bullet proof vests, protective masks, and a car laden with explosives." The statement also reported the arrest of two suspects after a raid on a hideout of insurgents in Zeyouna in Baghdad. The raid also resulted in confiscation of 50 oxygen tanks and an electric detonator.

#9  Keep up the torture questioning of these asshats and we will get more. Their biggest problem could be their network, and every last part of it being squeezed out of the captives.

#8  For some reason I imagined the two of them sitting together in a booth at a bar, with the photo, signed "All my best - Z", in a frame along with similar pictures of other ME celebrities.

Maybe one of a young Osama getting a lap dance, with a great big grin on his face.

#5  Well, after debriefing him, he'll go to a Iraqi led prison and surely be tortured and starved to death over a 3 year period. So I think you can write this guy off as DEAD

#4  Note also the 50 oxygen tanks. There was a reference to "gas bottles" used as an accelerant, combined with land mines from Iran, the other day.

#3  I wonder if the NSA has the phone records of Iraq, and if so, if it would be ok to 'mine' them to see what numbers connected to the numbers this guy connected to. Might be that the supply of cell phones available for use in IEDs just jumped and the supply available for actual communications fell.

#1  Pain...lots and lots of pain. For every Marine and soldier that died because of him. Then start with the innocent Iraqi men, women and children that died or were maimed.
