As the Baghdad security operation takes shape, much of the violence continues to occur in the provinces outside the capital. The provinces of Diyala, Anbar, Babil, and portions of Salahadin are where many of the major attacks against Iraq and U.S. security forces, as well as Iraqi citizens, are occurring. Yesterday's bombing in Baghdad's book market was only the third major attack in the past nine days.

The Iraqi led Baghdad Operational Command reported that security operations in the capital resulted in the death of six insurgents and the capture of 55, "including 5 of Arabic nationalities." Questions remain about the status of Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, the leader the Islamic State in Iraq, al Qaeda's political front. Some reports indicate he was arrested in the Doura district in Baghdad. Others reports claim his two brothers were arrested, or that the person detained in Duluiya in Salahadin province, Abdullah Latif al-Jaburi, is in fact al-Baghdadi. Until the U.S. military confirms a capture, these reports should be treated with a high degree of skepticism.
