US: Top al-Qaida in Iraq Figure Captured

The U.S. command said Wednesday the highest-ranking Iraqi in the leadership of al-Qaida in Iraq has been arrested, adding that information from him indicates the group's foreign-based leadership wields considerable influence over the >Iraqi chapter.
Khaled Abdul-Fattah Dawoud Mahmoud al-Mashhadani, also known as Abu Shahid, was captured in Mosul on July 4, said Brig. Gen. Kevin Bergner, a military spokesman.
"Al-Mashhadani is believed to be the most senior Iraqi in the al-Qaida in Iraq network," Bergner said. He said al-Mashhadani was a close associate of Abu Ayub al-Masri, the Egyptian-born head
of al-Qaida in Iraq.
Bergner said al-Mashhadani served as an intermediary between al-Masri and Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri.
"In fact, communication between the senior al-Qaida leadership and al-Masri frequently went through al-Mashhadani," Bergner said.
"Along with al-Masri, al-Mashhadani co-founded a virtual organization in cyberspace called the Islamic State of Iraq in 2006," Bergner said. "The Islamic State of Iraq is the latest efforts by al-Qaida to market itself and its goal of imposing a Taliban-like state on the Iraqi people."

Will the real Abu Shahdi please stand up?
All you other Abu Shahdis are just imitatin'...
A virtual organization in Cyberspace?? OMG--They're using TECHNOLOGY!!! We're f**cked now!
You know, I think the Protocols of the Elders of Zion were actually written by Al Qaeda (specifically by Abu al Zion). That way they get the world's bigots to suspect Jews of conspiring to take over the world when it's THEM!! Can anyone now deny that there is a shadowy global conspiracy of Arab Muslims bent on destroying us and our way of life? And that accusations of anti-muslim bigotry against those who point this out are simply attempts to defend the conspirators from scrutiny by pretending that Islam is a religion of peace when in fact it teaches its followers to hate and kill the infidels, especially Jews and Christians? And that the powerful Arab Muslim lobbies are in fact fronts for advancing the agenda of Al Qaeda on Earth, the super secret cabal of Arab Muslim leaders who call the shots from behind the scenes? And that they use their octopus like control of the world's oil to crush their competitors? Will we ever eradicate this insidious menace??
