Suspect in Iraq Shrine Bombing Captured
Associated Press ^ | June 28, 2006 | KIM GAMEL

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraqi forces have captured a key al-Qaida suspect wanted in the bombing of a Shiite shrine that brought the country to the brink of civil war, the country's national security adviser said Wednesday.

The official identified the arrested man as Yousri Fakher Mohammed Ali, a Tunisian also known as Abu Qudama. The national security chief said Abu Qudama was seriously wounded in a clash with security forces north of Baghdad few days ago. Fifteen other foreign fighters were killed in the confrontation, he said.

Mouwafak al-Rubaie said the ringleader in the operation, an Iraqi he identified as Haitham Sabah Shaker Mohammed al-Badri, was still on the run.

Al-Rubaie said Abu Qudama and al-Badri were in a gang that included two other Iraqis and four Saudis who carried out the attack.

. . .

Abu Qudama entered Iraq in November 2003 and was captured ``few days ago'' in Udaim, a village about 70 miles north of Baghdad, al-Rubaie said. ``Abu Qudama confessed that he killed hundreds of Iraqis'' in different parts of the country al-Rubaie said, but gave no further details.

``Iraqi forces and its intelligence have achieved major penetrations of al-Qaida and other terrorist groups,'' the national security adviser said.
