Iraq says detains No. 2 in Iraqi al Qaeda

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The second most senior figure in al Qaeda in Iraq was arrested a few days ago, National Security Adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie told a news conference on Sunday.

He named the man as Hamed Juma Faris al-Suaidi, also known as Abu Humam or Abu Rana, and said he was the deputy to Abu Ayyub al-Masri, who took over the Sunni Islamist insurgent group after U.S. troops killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in June.

Headlines says that Iraq's National Security Advisor is also the No. 2 man in Al Qaida in Iraq. From other reports I know this isn't true. But the stupid reporters strike again.
