| An Iraqi moderate Sunni source confirms security reports that Ahmad Al-Janabi, Al-Qaeda guide in Latifiyya and Yusufiyah in south Baghdad, was arrested recently. The source adds that Al-Janabi took part in battles in Afghanistan against the Russians before joining Al-Qaeda in Iraq against the Americans. He maintains close relations with Saudi and Iraqi leaders in the Al-Qaeda in Mesopotamia. Before his arrest, he was urging the Islamic insurgency in Iraq to occupy some areas in south Baghdad to take control of major roads to central and southern Iraq. According to this source, Al-Janabi has dozens of supporters in south Baghdad. He urges them to attack the foreign interests in Iraq. |

| #1 Al-Qaeda "guide" Right about now, he better be leading our intel spooks on some real informative "guided" tours of IED labs and safe houses. His only chance of living much longer should hinge on him guiding us to Osama and Omar. |
