Al-Qaeda guide in south Baghdad Ahmad Al-Janabi arrested

Another good catch.

An Iraqi moderate Sunni source confirms security reports that Ahmad Al-Janabi, Al-Qaeda guide in Latifiyya and Yusufiyah in south Baghdad, was arrested recently.

The source adds that Al-Janabi took part in battles in Afghanistan against the Russians before joining Al-Qaeda in Iraq against the Americans.

He maintains close relations with Saudi and Iraqi leaders in the Al-Qaeda in Mesopotamia.
Before his arrest, he was urging the Islamic insurgency in Iraq to occupy some areas in south


Baghdad to take control of major roads to central and southern Iraq.
