Top al Qaeda Operative Captured

The Pentagon announced today the capture of Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi, described as “one of al-Qaida’s most senior and most experienced operatives.” Where and when al-Hadi was captured has not been disclosed; he is a native of Iraq who served in Saddam’s military before going to Afghanistan to join bin Laden. Al-Hadi was apparently trying to return to Iraq from an undisclosed country when he was apprehended. The Wikipedia entry on al-Hadi includes this “wanted poster” put out by the U.S. government:

Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi is one of Usama bin Laden
