Focus News reports:

High-ranking leader of terrorist organization Al Qaeda was detained today in Iraqi province of Karbala during military operation, Iraqi news agency INA reports. Abdel Fatih Isa, a.k.a. Abu Aisha, was arrested in a private home where he had been hiding for a long time. The arrest was made after a few houses in the town had been searched through. The terrorist is among the chief organizers of terrorist acts in capital Baghdad. According to military sources Abu Aisha was an officer from the Iraqi army during Saddam Hussein’s rule, the agency notes. [Emphasis Added]

It is amazing how many former Iraqi military and intelligence officers joined forces with Zarqawi. Of course, it is widely believed that this type of cooperation began only after the U.S.-led invasion. That's nonsense.
