When MNF site verifies this claim then I will believe it. To many false claims about baggy daddy in the past few weeks.

Re the latest captured Iraqi terrorist leader - Can we say that "Bagdadhi's in the bag"?

It is amazing how ALL western Liberal media is giving us the same spin. Now that he's captured he is the leader of "an al-Qaeda linked insurgent group." Never mind that he and his follows said they are al-Qaeda lead - not merely "linked." Here's what Al Jazeera says:

Hundreds of supporters of the Mujahidin Shura Council, a group of Sunni fighters led by al-Qaeda in Iraq, took to the streets of Ramadi to announce that the city was joining a self-declared Islamic state in Iraq.

Hundreds of armed men marched through the capital of Anbar province as mosque loudspeakers broadcast a statement by the Mujahidin Shura Council.

Cars also formed convoys in a show of strength in an area revisited by US forces on a regular basis.

"We are from Mujahidin Shura Council and our amir is Abu Omar al-Baghdadi. God willing we will set the law of Sharia here and we will fight the Americans," said a man who identified himself as Abu Harith, a Mujahidin leader.

Al Jazeera (2006)

Of course we should not expect to much feeling from the little statue that remained on the stone shelf after the other 364 where tossed out and broken up. Frigen muslims have been had for some fifteen centuries and still don't have a clue.

Confirmation seems closer if Jihadists web sites are to be believed ( From the Long thread ):

BREAKING: Abu Omar al-Baghdadi Captured

**************************EXCERPT*****************************

He is indeed captured. Queda forums publishing rants and raves claiming otherwise, but a statement has been issued by the "Islamic State of Iraq" on the Hesbah forum confirming the capture.
