#2 From CentCom:

He was Military Emir of Mosul in 2005. He housed foreign fighters to be used in suicide bombing attacks against the Coalition and the Iraqi people.

After leaving Mosul in late 2005, he became the Military Emir of Karkh, Baghdad.

After a few months he fled Baghdad due to Coalition Forces closing in on him. Just prior to his capture, he was attempting to organize what is left of the al-Qaida in Iraq network in Mosul.

From that description I am sure someone here can hang a name on him, as could anyone in his organization, which makes me wonder why CentCom did not.
