U.S. general: Capture is 'strong proof' al Qaeda in Iraq - Link

[rodbarnett]

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The U.S.-led coalition struck a blow in the war on terrorism with the capture of an al Qaeda operative in Iraq, a top U.S. military official said Thursday.

Speaking to reporters, Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez discussed the arrest of Hasan Ghul, who was seized last week along the Iran-Iraq border.

"The capture of Ghul is pretty strong proof that al Qaeda is trying to gain a foothold here to continue their murderous campaigns," Sanchez said. "Ghul's capture is great news for the Iraqis, for the coalition and for the international community's war against terrorism."
