Top al-Qaida figure 'arrested' in Iraq
Iraq’s interior ministry says police have arrested the top al-Qaida in Iraq figure in the northern city of Mosul, scene of an intensified crackdown on the terror network.
Major General Ahmed Taha says Abdul-Khaliq al-Sabawi, the al-Qaida “wali” of Mosul, was arrested today in Salahuddin province, which neighbours Mosul’s Nineveh province to the south.
