Khaled Abdul-Fattah Dawoud Mahmoud al-Mashhadani, also known as Abu Shahid was nabbed in Mosul Iraq on the 4th of this month.
“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.”
Great news, lets hope that his arrest is followed up with a whole string of other jihadis being clamped in irons. More here. *L* KGS
