Looks like the world is getting smaller for bin Laden associate Abu Zarqawi and his gang:

KIRKUK, Iraq - A follower of alleged Al Qaeda leader in Iraq Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi was arrested in the northern oil city of Kirkuk, along with a suspected local kidnapping ring, the US military said on Tuesday.

The suspect was arrested on Monday night, Colonel Lloyd Miles of the 25th Infantry Division told reporters during a press conference at the US military base at Kirkuk’s airport.

There's also been this news regarding a significant set back for the bad guys:

TIKRIT, Iraq - 1st Infantry Division Soldiers detained 15 individuals during a raid near Mandeli around 5:30 a.m. July 25.

Soldiers conducted the raid to capture members of the Jihad Taheed terrorist cell.

The Soldiers confiscated four AK-47 assault rifles, one .22 caliber rifle, one SKS rifle, 1,000 rounds of ammunition and 16 AK-47 30-round magazines.

Looks like the Jihadists are stuck in a quagmire.
