As reported here, "Iraqi and coalition forces have arrested the second most senior figure in al-Qaida in Iraq, Iraq's national security adviser announced on Sunday, saying the group now suffered from a "serious leadership crisis."
"Hamed Jumaa Farid al-Saeedi, known as Abu Humam or Abu Rana, was captured north of Baghdad a few days ago "along with another group of his aides and followers," Mouwafak al-Rubaie said."
This can not be good news for the Islamofascists in Iraq, but it is certainly good news for the US led Coalition Forces, and the Iraqi people.
"Al-Saeedi was "directly responsible" for Haitham Sabah Shaker Mohammed al-Badri, the alleged mastermind of the February bombing of a Shiite shrine in Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad.", an act which has inflamed tensions between the Sunni's and the Shiite's, which has led to much bloodshed. Hopefully, his capture will at least mitigate that.
Score another big one for the good guys!
