al-Qaeda Leader and 25 Others Arrested

[ECH1969]

Iraqi police arrested 25 alleged terrorists in various parts of the country on Tuesday, including a member of the al-Qaeda network, according to Saudi daily al-Watan.

The al-Qaeda member is reported to have sought refuge in the western city of Ramadi, a stronghold of the Sunni insurgency, and was found in possession of explosive belts and large sums of cash, as well as four kilos of gold. In the man's hideout police found false passports, documents pertaining to Al-Qaeda in Iraq, the group led by Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Among the suspected terrorists detained on Tuesday were five people - including two Sudanese nationals - trying to cross illegally into Iraq from Jordan.

this just in:
AP WIRE 4-5-06
"wearing stripes on his shoulder and uttering anti-American slogans,
the captured Leader appeared to be a "Lieutenant" and, according to the
identity card found in his wallet., was the #2 Al Queda Operative...
his capture may lead to an end to violence in Iraq"

Wow !

[Karmakaze]

19. Wait! The headline doesn't match the article...

Of course the obvious response is "What else is new?" The headline says "Al Qaeda Leader", the article says "Al Qaeda member". In fact nowhere in the article does it say his "rank".

Are ALL Al Qaeda members "leaders"?

[pinniped]

23. Jeez, they keep recycling the same shit over and over.

They basically take the same 300 word story and shuffle up the words up for the next one.

This is the only part that never changes:

--the group led by Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi--

[laylah]

25. Al Qaeda, Zarqawi.....*yawn*
