Got a Big Al Qaeda Fish in Iraq
Not completely confirmed but looking good: Leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq Arrested in Mosul.
BAGHDAD � The leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Ayyub al-Masri, was arrested in the northern city of Mosul, the Iraqi Defense Ministry spokesman said Thursday.
Spokesman Mohammed al-Askari said the arrest of al-Masri, also known as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, was confirmed to him by the Iraqi commander of the province. There was no immediate confirmation or comment from U.S. forces on the arrest.
The U.S. military in Baghdad said �we are currently checking with Iraqi authorities to confirm the accuracy of this information.�
Interior Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Abdul-Karim Khalaf said that Mosul police �arrested one of Al Qaeda�s leaders at midnight and during the primary investigations he admitted that he is Abu Hamza Al-Muhajir.�
Good news if true. These scum need to be rolled up and wiped of the face of this planet.
