Terrorist caught in Iraq

An unnamed government official has told AFP and Petra that a senior Al Qaeda member has been captured by Jordanian intelligence in Iraq. It seems that the GID has taken a more proactive stance since the terror attacks in Amman last November.

The report doesn't say how or when this person was captured, and only says that he will be a star on JTV tomorrow night.

While it is good to learn that the GID is working in Iraq to protect Jordan, it is not obvious what use it is to let the world know about this. My guess that announcing the capture of this operative is intended for psychological affect on Zerqawi. Could it be that we are close to catching him?

UPDATE: Details of the creep's confessions are here. It was difficult watching him.
