Jordan arrests mentor of Qaeda's Zarqawi
Jordanian authorities have arrested the spiritual mentor of Iraq's al Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Al Jazeera television said.
The Arabic channel quoted its correspondent as saying authorities arrested Issam Barqawi, better known as Sheikh Abu Mohammad al-Maqdisi, as the television was broadcasting an interview with him.
Islamist and security sources have said the 43-year-old Muslim cleric -- who molded the militant Islamic views of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi -- was released on June 28 after a six-month detention at intelligence headquarters following his acquittal at a trial of Jordanian and Saudi sympathizers of al Qaeda.

Memo to self -- if I am ever wanted by the authorities for terrorism and get the chance to be interviewed on Television, check the name of my interviewer.
Abu Al'n Funt would not be a good one...
Mopping up the swine one by one.
