Good news if true, but US forces have yet to confirm.

It just broke on Iraqi TV. I'm in an Iraqi OPS center and everyone is excited.

Darn good news! Things like this make my day...

The Iraqis will make sure he gets his just desserts...I think he's going to have a long night...maybe, a couple long days and nights.

Three Soldier Dad...Chuck

Might have to have a little toast tonight, to the boys that got him.

I hope they suck his brain dry and send him to Hell in gasoline underwear.

| 09 May 2008 | 03:17 AM ET Font size: BAGHDAD (Thomson Financial) - The United States military denied on Friday that Al-Qaeda in Iraq chief Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, who carries a U.S. bounty of $5 million, had been captured by security forces.

On Thursday, state television Al-Iraqiya reported that a man calling himself as Muhajir was captured by Iraqi forces in the northern province of Nineveh. U.S. military spokeswoman Major Peggy Kageleiry said the detained individual was not Muhajir whose real name according to the military is Abu Ayyub al-Masri.

"They did not catch Abu Hamza al-Muhajir. Somebody with same name but not connected with him. It is not him," Kageleiry told AFP.
