U.S.: Terror Leader Caught in Karbala Raid

The Associated Press

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- A key terror leader linked to the deaths of at least six coalition soldiers
was captured in Karbala, the U.S. military said Friday, a day after the local council issued
strong protests over the arrests of three members.

The military said Iraqi soldiers, assisted by coalition advisers, conducted an early morning
ground assault raid on Thursday in the Shiite holy city, 50 miles south of Baghdad, and
captured "a high-ranking terrorist network commander without firing a shot."

The suspect was identified by the military as Sheik Aqeel.

The military also accused him of providing financial support to other militants, along with
roadside bombs it said were linked to the deaths of at least six coalition soldiers last year
and the deaths of a coalition soldier and an interpreter on June 8.

3. "terror leader"? He's wanted for shooting at *military*....
personnel that are engaged in a *foreign invasion* of a sovereign country.

Dear AP:

Stop screwing with our language and misrepresenting reality in order to promote a political agenda.
