| #3 The story says he is responsible for the killing of two US soldiers in Mahmudija, and the convoy carrying him to the jug was attacked in an apparent rescue effort. If someone tried to have him sprung, he must be big. |

| #2 He's got the Khalid Sheikh Mohamed jihadi-on-the-run-loungewear-chic thing happening, but I'm not sure why they've got the Vogue "fashion don't" bar across his eyes. Good work Polish troops. Somewhere, Sobieski is smiling. |

| #1 Not sure if this is the same guy, but Polish forces today captured (unfortunately, not killed) 38-year-old Salah Khabbas. He was responsible for the killing of a Polish journalist and technical staff. His photo is here. He's apparently well connected to Al-Q. |
