Good catch by Iraqi forces. Al-Qaida's second in command in Iraq was responsible for "brutal and merciless" terror  operations, including the bombing of a Shiite shrine that touched off the sectarian bloodletting pushing Iraq toward civil war.
It's good to see the Iraqi Army getting stronger and making headway. No question that they have the motivation and ability and desire to win this war. Listening to some Washington politicians today, you may question their determination to win.
More context on Shiite shrine bombing. You likely won't read this anywhere else.
