Via Marc at USSNeverdock.
Karbala. High-ranking leader of terrorist organization Al Qaeda was detained today in Iraqi province of Karbala during military operation, Iraqi news agency INA reports.

Abdel Fatih Isa, a.k.a. Abu Aisha, was arrested in a private home where he had been hiding for a long time. The arrest was made after a few houses in the town had been searched through. The terrorist is among the chief organizers of terrorist acts in capital Baghdad. According to military sources Abu Aisha was an officer from the Iraqi army during Saddam HusseinÂ’s rule, the agency notes.

#3  probably Abu was planning a multiple boom suicide attack on a primo Shia shrine or, somewhat more likely, a hit and run murder of a Shia bigwig

#2  Another Iraqi batthist thug with ties to al-qaeda.
Hmmmm.. the leftist/socialist rats in America
say there was no tie between al-qaeda and the
saddamite bathists. But there sure are a lot of
former saddamite military and mukharbarat nitwits
with ties with binladen's boys. Maybe the rats need to rethink their assumptions. I know, the
snowball is a better bet.
