Well I Guess Prisoners do Have Useful Information

CNN.com - U.S. military: Al-Zarqawi aide captured
Well what do you know - prisons do have information with they decided or are made to talk. The hit list continues!
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- An aide to terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had been captured by Iraqi security forces in Iraq, the U.S. military said Sunday.
U.S. forces identified him Ammar al-Zubaydi, also known as Abu Abbas.
Al-Zubaydi was captured in Baghdad on Thursday, the military said. He is responsible for many recent suicide car bombings, the military said, and an attack on Abu Ghraib prison in April that wounded U.S. troops and detainees at the facility. (Full story)
Al-Zubaydi is not the same Abu Abbas who masterminded the terrorist hijacking of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro in 1985. That man, leader of the Palestinian Liberation Front, was captured in Iraq in the early days of the war and died in custody.
Another al-Zarqawi associate -- who was captured on April 26 -- helped U.S. and Iraqi forces kill six insurgents Sunday and capture another 54 in western Iraq near the Syrian border, the U.S. military said.
