BAGHDAD, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- Iraqi security forces captured the military adviser to al-Qaida leader in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who is blamed for most of the terrorist attacks.
Baghdad's pro-government daily al-Sabah reported Friday Ina Mohammed Kaissi, known as Abu Waleed, was captured Jan. 24 during police raids in a southern suburb of Baghdad.
Kaissi, 41, was in charge of securing military facilities for Zarqawi's cells and was in close contact with leading terrorists such as Abu Omar Kurdi and Hassan Abou Seif, who was reportedly appointed by Zarqawi as his top man in Baghdad.
The paper quoted Deputy Prime Minister Barham Saleh as saying: "Zarqawi is losing his battle against the Iraqi people, as his network comprising terrorists and criminals has been deprived of senior commanders in the past few weeks."
