BAGHDAD [MENL] -- A leading Al Qaida operative has been captured in Iraq.
The Iraqi Defense Ministry reported the arrest of Riyad Wahab Hassan

Falih as a leading Al Qaida executioner who in 2008 was operating in the
Diyala province.
"Iraqi forces received intelligence on a very dangerous terrorist known
as the number-one butcher who was responsible for a beheading squad that
slaughtered innocent people," Defense Ministry spokesman Mohammed Al Askari
said.
