IN THE BULLPEN - Senior Zarqawi Network Terrorist Arrested
By Chad Evans on Terrorism

- Associated Press

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The U.S. military has arrested a “senior leader” in the network run by Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, along with five others during overnight raids in the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah, officials said Saturday.

The 1:30 a.m. raid in southern Fallujah targeted a site being used as a safe haven by al-Zarqawi’s inner circle, according to a military statement.

Intelligence sources said the man captured was previously thought to be a relatively minor member of the terror network. But because so many of al-Zarqawi’s associates have been captured or killed, he moved up to take a more important role."

Considering the so-called peace brokers inside of Fallujah claimed no Tawhid wal Jihad members were inside of Fallujah, this arrest confirms previous U.S. and Iraqi suspisions this wasn’t the case. Hopefully this arrest will bring out more information about the location of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi before the ACLU decides to intervene and sue to free him.
