Senior al Qaeda Leader Captured in Iraq
by John Little on 23/06/2006Now hiring in Iraq – Senior al Qaeda members:
Also Friday, the U.S. military announced that American-led coalition forces captured a senior member of al Qaeda in Iraq in the Baquba area.
The military didn’t identify the man who was captured Monday, two days after another senior member of the network — Mansur Sulayman Mansur Khalif, also known as Sheikh Mansur — was killed in a coalition airstrike.
The suspect, detained with three other suspected terrorists, reportedly is “a senior al Qaeda cell leader throughout central Iraq, north of Baghdad,” a military statement said.
“He is known to be involved in facilitating foreign terrorists throughout central Iraq, and is suspected of having ties to previous attacks on coalition and Iraqi forces.”
It hasn’t been a good week for management.
