Al Qaeda leader arrested in Iraq

UPI:

Iraqi security Saturday arrested the head of the al-Qaida affiliated Ansar al-Sunna, leader Hilal Hussein al-Badrani, authorities said.

A security source said al-Badrani, a Saudi national, was captured Saturday near the town of al-Shurqat outside the northern city of Mosul. He was in possession of weapons, rocket-propelled grenades and ammunition.

The man is suspected of being a senior al-Qaida member in Iraq and heads an armed group called Ansar al-Sunna (Supporters of Sunnis).

In a related incident, the U.S. military in Iraq said troops arrested ten gunmen suspected of launching rocket attacks on the northern oil-rich city of Kirkuk.
Why do some Democrats not want to fight al Qaeda elements in Iraq. It seems like a much better place to do it than the US.
