Great, great news here! A very brief account of the capture of an Al Qaeda in Iraq leader in Mosul is here in the article from Aswataliraq so I will just post in it's entirety right here:
Islamic State f Iraq leader detained in MosulThe huge news here is that we were looking for some positives coming from the fighting in Mosul and it's also very encouraging to see that the locals even in Mosul are giving up the goose on the al Qaeda in Iraq goons there. These tips from locals is the difference in this whole operation. One of these days I'm going to sit down and count how many leaders of al Qaeda in Iraq have been captured or killed since January 1, 2008 - it HAS to be a very impressive number!
