Iraqi Forces Arrest Key Zarqawi Aid

[dubyaD40web]

The U.S. military has confirmed the arrest of an aide to the al-Qaida chief in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, by Iraqi forces near the city of Baquba. The arrest was announced as the U.S. launched an operation in the western city of Haditha intended to round up insurgent suspects.

A statement released by the U.S. military describes Mullah Kamel al-Aswadi as the most wanted terrorist in north-central Iraq.

Officials say Iraqi forces made the arrest of al-Aswadi as he tried to bribe his way through a checkpoint in the town of Balad. His vehicle was found to contain a global positioning system, multiple identification papers, a scope used to launch mortars, and U.S. currency.

Officials say al-Aswadi served as a key aide to Iraq's al-Qaida front man, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian-born militant. The statement says al-Aswadi was involved in the funding of terror cells, terrorist training, and the making of car and roadside bombs.

14. Keys??

I am wondering how many key aids does these guys have,and they are always number 1,2,or 3.
how about 4,5 or 6? or even 10?
I think these people are so full of it.
As one of James Brown song said they keep 'Talking loud and saying nothing.
They are so full of it.

I think they believe if they keep repeating Key Aide,and "Almost Caught",people will believe they are really making great progress.
Very lame as far as I can see,this "Key Aide and almost caught thing" is getting way tired now.

16. Yes, more 'catapulting propaganda' as Junior Caligula said today.

[daleo]

15. These seem like standard items any Iraqi might have:

"a global positioning system, multiple identification papers, a scope used to launch mortars, and U.S. currency..."

Seriously.

18. Has he ever been mentioned before?

There was a period when they were announcing arrests of folk who had earlier been reported as dead. Each of these was usually followed several days later by an itsy-bitsy correction: "Oops. Wasn't him."

But of course, that problem won't recur if they announce the capture of people whose names have never before seen the light of day ...
