Classic -- from Yahoo/Reuters:
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.
(emphasis mine) 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. Posted by DaveH at July 5, 2005 11:01 PM
