U.S. Captures Hizbullah Deputy Chief In Iraq

BAGHDAD [MENL] -- The U.S. military in Iraq was said to have captured the
deputy military chief of the Iranian-sponsored Hizbullah.
Iraqi sources said the U.S. Army has arrested the No. 2 figure in
Hizbullah's military wing. The sources said the unidentified Hizbullah
commander was responsible for training the Iranian-backed Mahdi Army in the
Baghdad area.
"The arrest is a major achievement and could provide an intelligence
bonanza," an Iraqi source said.
The U.S.-led coalition has reported the capture of a senior Iranian
operative south of Baghdad. In a coalition statement, the operative was
described as a "primary weapons smuggler and financier for Iranian-backed
enemy fighters."
