U.S. and Iraqi forces on Saturday arrested suspected top terror leader in
this volatile northern city, police said.
The Iraqi man, known as Mullah Mahdi, was detained with his brother, three
other Iraqis and a non-Iraqi Arab national, following a brief clash in eastern
Mosul, said Iraqi army Maj. Gen. Khalil Ahmed al-Obeidi.
Al-Obeidi said the terror suspect was affiliated with the Ansar al-Sunnah
Army, one of Iraq's most feared terror groups, and links to the Syrian
intelligence service.
"He was wanted for almost all car bombs, assassinations of high official,
beheadings of Iraqi policemen and soldiers and for launching attacks against
Multi-National Forces," al-Obeidi said.
