Coalition forces turn over al-Qaida in Iraq leader (for hanging)
2006-08-02
Coalition forces announce theyÂ’ve turned over to the Iraqi government an al-Qaida in Iraq leader that has admitted to conducting terrorist activity since 2004. The terrorist will now be prosecuted by the Iraqi government under the Iraqi justice system.

The terrorist leader held multiple leadership positions within al-Qaida and was appointed by Abu MusÂ’ab al Zarqawi and Abu Ayyub al Masri to two of the positions he held. At one time, he coordinated and oversaw the operations of five different terrorist cells at one time.

The Iraqi admitted to coordinating over ten death squad attacks, personally participating in several of them, while he was a member of one terrorist cell. The cell targeted several innocent Iraqis including grocery store and butcher store owners. Another of the groups he led coordinated kidnappings and large scale bombings throughout Baghdad.

He was captured in a raid in western Baghdad that resulted from intelligence gathered during the successful targeting of former al-Qaida in Iraq leader Zarqawi in early June.

Iraqi and Coalition officials will continue to work closely to ensure the terrorist receives due process through the Iraqi justice system.

#6  I always ask myself if we could win even a long drawn out war if we couldn't stop the enemy from full knwoledge of our past and present operations and methods. We couldn't, neither can al Qaeda.
Each time we add another volume of data to the growing al Qaeda ops files, we tighten the rope around their necks. The only real danger is that pacifists will manage to end all hostilities before we mop up the entire spill. Stay the course till the end and several anniversaries thereafter.
