Iraqi forces capture Zarqawi aide

Captures and arrests are up. An unintended but positive consequence of the shrine bombing?

Feb 27, 2006 — BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi Interior Ministry forces have captured a senior aide to al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Iraqi state television said on Monday.

Iraqiya television named the man as Abu Farouq and said he was captured with five others in the Sunni insurgent stronghold of Ramadi, west of the capital.
