Terror suspect confesses to hundreds of beheadings
2006-05-31
A key terror suspect who allegedly confessed to hundreds of beheadings has been captured, Iraqi officials say. The government named the man as Ahmed Hussein Dabash Samir al-Batawi. A spokesperson said the anti-terror unit which arrested him, also seized documents, cellphones and computers that contained information on other wanted terrorists and extremist groups.

It's also been announced that police killed three members of al-Qaeda in Iraq during clashes south of Baghdad last week. They were well-known aides of the group's leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a police spokesperson said.

#7  I'm lost, Ordu? Saddam would've made use of this prick, rather than buried him in the desert, or am I misunderstanding your point? - no, I'm not Iraqi

#3  Most of those released will be captured again or killed. Those in prison already failed screening/interrogation.

#2  "recommending more than 19 600 individuals for release"

Which means the other half of the detainees whose cases were reviewed were NOT recommended for release.

#1  A while after 9/11, in 2002, I watched a teevee debate on terror, and one specialist evoked the various jihadi outfit in pakiland; he commented on their ruthlessness and sectarian infighting, and mentioned that some of their enforcers had in the range of 200 hits+ under their belt.
