Iraq
Another Senior Zarqawi Aide Snatched
2006-05-29
Update: 11:45 am CDT: link provided. Please provide a link, folks! AoS.
Iraqi security forces have captured a number three senior aide of al Qaeda leader in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Baghdad, a Defence Ministry spokesman said on Monday.

Defence Ministry spokesman Kassim al-Mosawi said that Kassim al-Ani, one of the most wanted people in Iraq, was arrested on Sunday evening. "The Iraqi army forces arrested three terrorists who belong to al Qaeda, one of them is a senior aide of Zarqawi in Baghdad," Mosawi said. "He was one of the most wanted ones," he told Reuters, adding that Ani was suspected of being behind many attacks in the Iraqi capital.

Mosawi said the army had received intelligence information that Ani and the two other suspects were in a house in Baghdad's northern Adhamiya district, a predominantly Sunni area. "We prepared a plan and raided the house and arrested them without resistance," he said.

#7  As they occur to me:

4. The entire Mullahcracy of Iran
5. The entire membership of all the Palestinian terror groups, AND their political wing enablers.
6. All hatred spewers in the mosques -- irrespective of brand (Shia, Sunni, other)

#6  How about a Memorial Day top 10 list of those you would most like to see jugged or resigned to a dirt nap? I'd start off like this:
1. Zarqawi
2. OBL
3. Zawahiri

#3  I thought Zarq was on his way to Binny's bedside to get his dying wishes?

#1  But Zarqawi himself remains at large...

Maybe he's considered as a smelly cow's dropping that attracts the flies, clean the dropping and the flies would move away.
