Coalition Forces identified the man as the gatekeeper to the al-Qaeda emir of Baghdad. He has alleged ties to several senior al-Qaeda members and is reportedly linked to a number of mass casualty vehicle-borne improvised explosive device attacks in the Baghdad area.
He was detained along with another known al-Qaeda VBIED cell leader and one other suspect.
"This is a significant step in our efforts to disrupt the VBIED network and their devastating attacks against the Iraqi people,"said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson.
