#1 Heh. Sweet. Considering how many times we've heard about Al Qaim - and it's always because of foreign asshat infiltration, BS wedding parties, trucks full of jihadis, caches, et al - I'd say wiping Al Qaim off the map or giving it the Fallujah treatment is in order.

#2 nice going

when the US Military says, "coalition forces" without numbering them, does that mean "a 98% or so American force"?

#4 the report is that Zubaidi was caught in Baghdad a few days ago

it could be linked to the raid in Qaim but probably not

#6 I found this in an article on the Washingtom Times web site.

The April 28 raid in Baghdad also netted an undated document listing targeting information and sketch maps for kidnappings and bombings.

U.S. forces captured three people and killed five others during the Baghdad raid. Among the dead is Abu Rayyan, the Saudi leader of a Baghdad-based car-bomb production cell. Abu Rayyan also served as the lieutenant to Abu al-Abbas, who is allegedly responsible for planning the attack on Abu Ghraib in early April, according to the military.
