The al Queda "#2" Arrested In Iraq The Other Day-Actually Arrested In June

[kpete]

Remember the al Qaeda "number two" in Iraq arrested the other day? Well, he was actually arrested in June:

The U.S. military said Wednesday the arrest of al-Qaida in Iraq's second in command took place in June and was the most significant blow to the terror network since the death of al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell said the arrest of Hamed Jumaa Farid al-Saeedi, also known as Abu Humam or Abu Rana, was captured on June 19 -- not a few days ago, as the Iraqi government had initially announced.

Iraq's national security adviser, Mouwafak al-Rubaie, announced al-Saeedi's arrest on Sunday, saying it had occurred a few days earlier. But Caldwell said that it was only the permission to announce the arrest that had been given a few days earlier.

6. How do they keep track of all the "number Twos"??

Did they capture him BEFORE the other "number two"?..was he really a number three, and only elevated to number two after a previously identified number two was killed?

AQ must have a hard time promoting from within.. being announced as the new number two must start those knees a-knocking...:)
