| Abu Omar al-Baghdadi Busted Near Tikrit |
| 2007-03-04 |
| A suspected leader of the group Islamic State in Iraq, which has ties to the al-Qaeda terrorist network, was detained in northern Iraq on Sunday, Iraqi security forces reported. Muharib Mohammed Abdullah, aka Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, was arrested in a joint raid by Iraqi and US soldiers in the city of Duluiya. "This is a great success for the Iraqi security forces, comparable to the killing of Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi," the Salaheddin provincial administration in the town of Tikrit said in a statement. Abdullah is a former legal expert from the city of Balad, north of Baghdad. The Islamic State in Iraq organization claimed responsibility Saturday for the murder of 18 policemen.
