"An intelligence and technical team was immediately formed to track down the whereabouts of the wanted person" after receiving instructions from Iraqi Interior Minister Abdul-Amir al-Shammari, and security forces "were able to ambush and arrest him in a Baghdad hotel," said a statement by Iraq’s Federal Intelligence and Investigations Agency.
