BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi Interior Ministry forces have captured a senior aide to al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Iraqi state television said on Monday.

Iraqiya named the man as Abu Farouq and said he was captured with five others in the Sunni insurgent stronghold of Ramadi, west of the capital.

It said Abu Farouq al-Suri, previously unknown to the media, was captured by the Wolf Brigade, one of several counter-insurgency units operating within the Shi'ite-run Interior Ministry but accused by Sunnis of targeting civilians in their community.

The word Suri is Arabic for Syrian, indicating that the captured man may have come from Iraq's western neighbor.

1. Is it the number three guy?

Gee I'd really hate to be the number three guy in Al Queda. I mean that's like a death sentance.

[LiberalEsto]

5. It's number 2.189

There are an infinite number of Number Two-point-somethings out there.

:scared:

6. I never know if it's number 2 or number 3...

...but MAN, they spread faster than ROACHES.

I mean, let's do the math. If there are three number two guys, doesn't that make one of them number four until he gets a promotion?

That Al Qaeda is one complicated organization. I'd hate to try to figure out their 401K plan...

:evilgrin:

11. Yeah, hell, if they do layoffs by seniority, there's quite a crowd at the

top!!! How do they figure out who goes? "1, 2, 3, 4, one of you is out the door?"

[LiberalEsto]

15. One potato, two potato

and for kicks, sometimes they do "Bubblegum, bubblegum on my knee"

[bklyncowgirl]

20. Do you get a promotion when you volunteer to suicide bomb?

Could mean a high turnover in the old Al Queda organization.

[global1]

2. So Does This Mean There's No Civil War In Iraq?........n/t

[Atman]

3. A Senior Aid? Maybe even a Kool Aid!

Drink it up, sheeple!

[xchrom]

4. only americans never ask how come al queda

and the insurgency never seem to go away when we capture so many ''leaders''?

i don't mean the americans here at du as a disclaimer.

10. Every once in a while Junior will throw out an actual PERCENTAGE...

...and that's always a lot of fun.

He'll say that we have "removed" X-% of the leaders, and now the insurgents (or whatever they're being called this week) know that they CANNOT WIN, and meanwhile this "noise" effectively covers up the latest White House scandal-in-progress.

:patriot:

[Taxloss]

7. So ... we're almost done, right? How many are left?

Oh, hang on, I remember how this works.

[Canuckistanian]

8. "previously unknown to the media"

Damned librul media. Always getting it wrong.

[Skink]

9. Torture anybody?

[Canuckistanian]

13. Well, I have some fantasies of my own

They mostly involve Shrub, an anthill and lots of honey.

[mom cat]

18. Previously unknown Senior official. How do they manage to do

such a bad job with disinformation?

[underpants]

12. Too many chiefs not enough soup

Al Qaeda must be the most top heavy management organization ever devised. Hell all you have to do is make it a month and they make you at least the #3 guy..or one of them.

[napi21]

14. Tell me again...how many times have we captured a Sr. Al Qaeda aid???

These leadersmust have a staff bigger than Shrub's!

[wryter2000]

16. Not Faourq Al-Suri!

Wasn't he sitting next to Laura at the SOTU?

[madrchsod]

17. "whack-a-mole"

they just keep popping up!

[Frank Cannon]

19. This kind of reminds me of the classic TV show "The Prisoner"

Wasn't there a new Number Two every week?



"Who is Number One?"
"You are Number Six."
"I am not a number. I am a free man."
