Zarqawi Denies the Arrests of His Lieutenants, Declares the Formation of an All-Iraqi Suicide SquadBy Evan Kohlmann
Al-Qaida's Jihad Committee in Iraq--led by wanted Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi--has officially denied recent claims that assistants loyal to Zarqawi have been arrested in Mosul and in Madrid, Spain. The statements came in the wake of an announcement last week by the Iraqi government concerning the capture of senior Al-Qaida leader Abu Talha al-Mosuli (a.k.a. Mohammed Khalaf Shakar). Al-Qaida's Committee in Iraq has also declared the formation of an all-Iraqi suicide brigade--known as the Al-Ansar Martyrs Brigade--that was created as a branch of another Al-Qaida unit known as the Al-Baraa bin Malik Brigade.
