A top lieutenant of al-Zarqawi's terror group, Sami Mohammed Ali Said al-Jaaf, also known as Abu Omar al-Kurdi, was arrested during a raid in Baghdad on Jan. 15, a government statement said Monday.Of course, despite the headline, the actual news is buried in the story...
Al-Jaaf was responsible for 32 car bombings that killed hundreds of Iraqis, the statement said. The suspect "confessed to building approximately 75 percent of the car bombs used in attacks in Baghdad since March 2003," Allawi spokesman Thaer al-Naqib said in the statement.
Al-Jaaf was "the most lethal of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's lieutenants," the statement said. He "claims responsibility for some of the most ruthless attacks on Iraqi police forces and police stations."
Two other militants linked to al-Zarqawi's terror group also have been arrested, authorities said a man described as the chief of al-Zarqawi's propaganda operations and one of the group's weapons suppliers.
Mark's Remarks
Of course, catching a big time terrorist is never enough. Nope, we have to focus on other things. Nope, let there never be any good news reported or positivity coming out of Iraq. Nope, that would make Bush look good, and God knows we can't have that happening if we are the Mainstream Media.We are working hard to bring stability to Iraq. Our soldiers deserve to be praised. However, the mainstream press is doing nothing but denigrating their efforts or calling them occupiers, etc.
This is a good capture, and hopefully it will be a sign of things to come.
