#2 Sheikh Khaled Hamoud was arrested by US troops at a mosque near the city, according to a colleague, Sheikh Abdul Hamid Jadu. After initially refuting the allegations, a spokesman for the marines later said that they have been detaining suspected insurgents or those suspected of assisting them. But he refused to confirm whether Sheikh Hamoud was among those detained.

I heard he and the city's chief of police were nabbed sneaking out the back door...

I guess a minivan loaded with the kids, clothes, and valuables now qualifies as a "mosque"
