So claims the Iraqi Army - I don’t think the U.S. Army has confirmed as of yet.
The leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, Abu Ayyub al-Masri, was arrested in the northern city of Mosul, the Iraqi Defense Ministry spokesman said Thursday. Mohammed al-Askari said the arrest of al-Masri, also known as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, was confirmed to him by the Iraqi commander of the province. There was no immediate confirmation or comment from U.S. forces.

This guy was taken alive - I imagine they will get some very useful intelligence in his case.

False alarm, nothing to see here. Apparently just some used car salesman who used the ‘terrorist’ angle to push crappy cars on unsuspecting victims.
