The Associated Press reports that U.S. Marines captured two senior al Qaeda's leaders in Iraq:
The U.S. Marines said they captured two men who led cells in Anbar province for Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab Zarqawi's Al Qaeda in Iraq network. The province, a center for the insurgency, includes the cities of Ramadi and Fallujah.
A Marine Corps statement identified the captured men as Saleh Arugayan Kahlil and Bassim Mohammed Hazeem. Their cells kidnapped and executed 11 Iraqi national guardsmen, carried out car bombings and other attacks in the Ramadi area and "smuggled foreign terrorists into the country," the Marines said.
The Reuters account of the capture states that nformation from local residents had helped the marines capture several members of the group, including foreign fighters.
That is obviously very good news.
