U.S. Forces Capture Zarqawi Aide
U.S. forces in Iraq are holding a senior operative of terrorist leader Abu Musab Zarqawi who holds joint American-Jordanian citizenship, defense officials said Thursday.
The man was captured in a raid by U.S.-led coalition forces in Iraq late in 2004, said Matthew Waxman, the Pentagon’s deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs.
“Weapons and bomb-making materials were in his residence at the time he was captured,” Waxman said.
