Iraqi forces have arrested a top leader of the Al Qaeda terror network, General Mahdi Sabeh Hashim of the interior ministry said in press remarks published on Monday.
Quoted by the government Al-Sabah newspaper, Hashim said ministry forces managed to arrest Mohammed Hadi Rabei Jassim. He said Jassim was arrested in the Adel neighbourhood in the western part of the city.
Hashim, however, did not say when the arrest took place. He said that the man was the fourth in the chain of command in the network led by Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi of Jordan.
He said the arrested person was wanted by the ministry for involvement in terror acts such as car bombings here and in other Iraqi cities that "killed innocent people".
Hashim said the militant was arrested following information about his location.
