you've gotta like Iraq's harboring of some of the world's most wanted terrorists... i mean, if i were going to actually "retire" from terrorism, i'd pick somewhere like the Argentina coast. now the palestinians are asking for him to be released to them....

From Reuters:

Special forces captured Abbas, who has never been linked with the al Qaeda group blamed for those attacks, in a raid near southern Baghdad, the U.S. military said.

U.S. Central Command said his capture "removes a portion of the terror network supported by Iraq and represents yet another victory in the global war on terrorism."

Central Command declined to say what would happen to Abbas, but Italy said it would seek his extradition. Abbas was sentenced in absentia in Italy to life in prison for planning the Achille Lauro hijack in the eastern Mediterranean.

The hijackers killed a disabled elderly American Jewish passenger, Leon Klinghoffer, shooting him and pushing his wheelchair overboard.

The Palestinian Authority demanded Abbas' release, saying his detention breached a Middle East peace deal stating that Palestinian officials were immune in cases dating from before 1993. U.S. officials said Abbas was not covered by that deal.>>
