Al-Qaeda’s #2 Guy In Iraq Arrested…Again
In case you’ve missed it yesterday…
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi forces have arrested the second most senior operative in al-Qaida Iraq, and the group now suffers from a “serious leadership crisis,” the national security adviser said Sunday. [“No. 2 al-Qaida leader in Iraq” (Yahoo!News)]
If you were like me when you heard the news, you were probably trying to figure out how many #2 al-Qaeda leaders in Iraq there are that are because it seems like they’re making this announcement every month or so. It turns out someone has been keeping track and yesterday’s arrest makes 39.
Yesterday the Iraqi Prime Minister on the news telling the world that this man, Hamed Jumaa Farid al-Saeed, is behind all of violence in Iraq. He blamed al-Saeed for plotting to start a Civil War between religious Sects by attacking the Sects and making it look like it was done by opposing Sects. It sounded like convenient propaganda to me.

Each time they catch a number two someone gets promoted. Of course there will be a lot of number 2s if we keep catching them.
