BAGHDAD, July 18 (Xinhua) -- An Iraqi top security official said Tuesday that four key al-Qaida leaders, who are responsible for major bombings and sectarian bloodshed in the country, have been captured in Baghdad.
Iraq's National Security Advisor Muwafaq al-Rubaie made the government announcement in a televised news conference. Comment: Israeli PM Olmert says that Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers in order to take the attention away from Iran. Seems more likely that Israel is waging war on Lebanon to help take the attention away from the disaster called Iraq.
