Killer Zarqawi aide arrested

2005-02-24 20:54

Baghdad - A top aide to al-Qaeda's frontman in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, has been arrested, the Iraqi government said on Thursday.

"The terrorist Mohammed Najm Ibrahim, alias Mohammed Najm, who with one of his brothers runs a Zarqawi cell, is responsible for the beheading of several citizens and for attacks against Iraqi security forces," it said in a statement.

Ibrahim was arrested in the town of Baquba, north of Baghdad, it added, without giving the date of his arrest.

On February 21 police in Baquba announced the arrest of another member of the Zarqawi group.

Iraq's most wanted man, Zarqawi is a Jordanian-born fugitive with a $25m US bounty on his head.
