US military catches top Zarqawi aide in Iraq!

[AGENDA21]

BAGHDAD, April 6, 2006 (PG) - The US military announced on Thursday it had caught a top Al-Qaeda linked operative who was the key suspect in the kidnapping of Italian journalist Guiliana Sgrena last year.

The military said a massive manhunt by Iraqi and US forces led to the arrest last month of Muhammed Hila Hammad Ubaydi, also known as Abu Ayman, a former aide to the intelligence chief under Saddam Hussein.

It said he had "strong ties" to Al-Qaeda's Iraq frontman, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and was the leader of the Secret Islamic Army, a militant outfit operating in the Babel province south of Baghdad.

He was caught on March 7 in al-Mahmudiyah, south of Baghdad, but his arrest was not immediately announced pending a DNA test, which "confirmed this is Abu Ayman," the military said.
