2008-06-29
Diala, Jun 28, (VOI) – An Iraqi army force on Saturday arrested two wanted people, said a source from Diala police, describing them as the most dangerous al-Qaeda elements operating in the province.

"A force from the Iraqi army 5th division on Saturday afternoon arrested Mahmoud al-Adhali and Anmar al-Adhali, in al-Talib suburb (15 km north of Baaquba)," the source told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq – on condition of anonymity. "They are wanted by security forces for killing and displacing large numbers of citizens," he said.

"Each of them is a senior al-Qaeda element (Amir) in Diala," he added. "Both of them are considered among the extremely dangerous members of al-Qaeda in Diala," he proceeded.

"They were heading to Baghdad when they were arrested," he noted. "They were carrying forged IDs that belong to the Iraqi Presidency," he explained. The source did not mention further details about the IDs.
