BAGHDAD, May 7 (Reuters) - Iraqi security forces have captured an aide to Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the al Qaeda leader in Iraq, the government said on Saturday.
A government statement said Iraqi forces arrested Ghassan al-Rawi, identified as the militant leader of the western town of Rawa, in late April.
It identified Rawi as a Zarqawi lieutenant in the western town who facilitated meetings for senior officials in Zarqawi's group. It said two of his assistants were also seized.
Iraqi and U.S. officials say they are closing in on Zarqawi, whose group has claimed some of the deadliest bombings in Iraq.
The U.S. military says it almost caught Zarqawi in February after pursuing a car in which he was travelling in western Iraq. Zarqawi fled the vehicle and escaped but his laptop was seized.
The Iraqi government statement said Rawi confessed to meeting Zarqawi once in January and facilitated his stay with an associate for five days.
The government said Rawi had kidnapped civilians and demanded ransoms and that security forces found weapons and cars being prepared for bombings when they detained him.
Terrorist captured ping!
Is it just me, or is the job of aide to Zarqawi a very popular job in Iraq? I'm getting visions of Spartacus here:
I'm Zarqawi's aide...no, I'm Zarqawi's aide...I'm...yeah yeah yeah.

I second that. And underneath each staked head should be prominently displayed photos (such as the one above) of the innocent victims slaughtered and hurt by these evil cowards.
I thought the DemonRATS said that Iraq and al Quadda didn't have connections with each other
Getting harder and harder to keep good help.

I hope the Iraqi interrogators are working overtime on these bast***s.
"there ought to be a place in Baghdad where the heads of
prominent terrorists , such as this guy, are displayed on stakes.
there one stake , with the name sign of Zarqawi hung upon it,
waiting....."
That was common practice during the Crusades (from both sides)
