Iraq-Jordan
Captured: Abu Talha, Mosul's Most-Wanted
2005-06-16
Coalition and Iraqi Security Forces captured the leader of Al-Qaida in the Mosul region June 14. Muhammad Khalaf Shakar, also known as Abu Talha, is Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's most trusted operations agent in all of Iraq. He was captured without incident. Multiple intelligence sources led Coalition forces to Abu Talha's location in a quiet neighborhood in Mosul. According to former Talha associates, Talha never stayed more than one night at any one residence, and always wore a suicide vest, saying he would never surrender. Talha gave up peacefully to Coalition forces and supporting Iraqi Security Forces, and is fully cooperating with Coalition and Iraqi officials.

#19  Abu Raad (Talha's consiglierie) was arrested 2 weeks ago. Guess he decided to rat out his boss in record time. Here hoping Talha rats out Zman. Break out the Panties of Doom.

#18  Always use eq to compare strings, anymouse. Dan, Perl isn't French. It can be made into Latin, however.

#12  Chicken shit.....just like the rest of them. Convincing others to blow themselves to bits then raising the white flag when their life is in danger of ending.

#9  "Typical Jihadi pussy." Yup that is typical of the leadership that always claim that they will never be taken alive, but somehow the great Satin (with it's Zionists cohorts) manage to trick them all into surrendering. At least the Hussein brother put up a fight before they were killed.

#8  I guess, "Never give up; never surrender"

only applies in movies about TV shows that never existed.

#6  Most of all I like the "he gave up peacefully and is fully cooperating". People will see high ranking Al Quaida as just a bunch of coards. And those he knew will get nervous. Of course many jihadists will refuse to believe about his cowardice

#5  always wore a suicide vest, saying he would never surrender

"Yarrrr! They'll never take me alive! I'll blow myself to Allan and take 50 of the infidels with me. Yarrr!

Oh. Good morning, officers. Lovely day, isn't it? Here, just slip those cuffs on for me and I'll bend over for my cavity search."

#3  He'll "never surrender" huh?

Talha gave up peacefully to Coalition forces and supporting Iraqi Security Forces, and is fully cooperating with Coalition and Iraqi officials.

Typical Jihadi pussy.

#2  I hope it was Kurds who got the intelligence to find him. Screw you WaPo (reference to an article yesterday).

#1  This is as big as getting Zarqawi....Talha was connected to cells in Europe. Good day indeed.
