Al Qaeda no. 2 turns stool pigeon

I haven't seen it reported in the local press, but this thug is in captivity and singing like a bird: Al Qaeda's number two in Iraq.

"Hamid al-Suaidi led a group that kidnapped people. He ordered bombings and mortar attacks that killed a number of our armed forces and our citizens. Al-Qaeda in Iraq is severely wounded," Mr Rubaie said.

"After his arrest he gave critical and important information and we ended up killing 11 militants of the second tier of leaders and nine of the lower tier," Mr Rubaie said of Suaidi.

Good news. Apparently not every Al Qaeda piece operative wants to die for their cause -- the higher level scum just want to send others to do that for then.
