Zarqawi's military adviser reported seized
2005-02-11
Iraqi security forces captured the military adviser to al-Qaida leader in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who is blamed for most of the terrorist attacks. Baghdad's pro-government daily al-Sabah reported Friday Ina Mohammed Kaissi, known as Abu Waleed, was captured Jan. 24 during police raids in a southern suburb of Baghdad.
And they have been sucking his brain dry ever since.
The large-bore drill bit -- a #7, I believe -- helped.
Kaissi, 41, was in charge of securing military facilities for Zarqawi's cells and was in close contact with leading terrorists such as Abu Omar Kurdi and Hassan Abou Seif, who was reportedly appointed by Zarqawi as his top man in Baghdad. The paper quoted Deputy Prime Minister Barham Saleh as saying: "Zarqawi is losing his battle against the Iraqi people, as his network comprising terrorists and criminals has been deprived of senior commanders in the past few weeks."

A #7 isn't a terribly big drill ( ~ .257" dia.) How's about a one inch spade drill?

Works for me.

#2  I think that you can be confident that both US and Iraqi intelligence have been doing just that, along with entering names into tribal databases, etc. This is all part of the roll up and represents a significant advance on the ability to defeat a violent terrorist group. I'm sure plenty of opportunistic common criminals are getting swept up as well.

#1  in a southern suburb of Baghdad.

has anyone tried mapping the locations of these arrests of Zarqs aides based on public announcements? I bet wed see some interesting patterns.


Hope the Iraqis are involved in the interrogation, and hope they arent squeamish.
