| Bombing wounds ex-Iraq Qaeda leader |
| 2008-05-09 |
| Mullah Nadhom Mahmud, a former top al-Qaeda leader now enforcing security alongside Iraqi police, has survived a suicide bombing. The suicide bomber detonated the explosives as his convoy was driven by Dhuluiyah, a town some 70 kilometers (40 miles) north of Baghdad, Iraqi police official Mohammed al-Jubburi said on Thursday. Mahmud, 30, and three others were wounded in the incident. For the past six months, Mullah Nadhom Mahmud has been enforcing security in Dhuluiyah alongside Iraqi police. Al-Qaeda has put a 100,000-dollar bounty on Mahmud's head. He accordingly has been targeted numerous times. Seven months ago a bomb attack peppered his left leg with shrapnel. |

| #3 Fascinating. Another proof that Al Qaeda in Iraq has reached the toast stage -- or perhaps we can say they're climbing to the top of the ash heap of History. |
