Radio Polonia is reporting reporting that Polish Intelligence agents have captured an Iraqi terrorist wanted for a number of terrorist attacks, including the fatal attack on a Polish public televsion war correspondant and his assistant.
The background of that wanted terrorist, Salas Khabbas, is what is most interesting.
Polish reports suggest that Khabbas, who has "a long record of killings and kidnappings" and is "a former member of the Baath party and closely linked with al-Qaeda, specialized in attacking convoys and kidnapping."
Khabbas may reveal his exact role in the former regime to his captors as well as how and when he became "closely linked" with al-Qaeda. In the meantime, his name has been added to the ever-growing list of former regime officials caught fighting as al Qaeda agents in Iraq.

Thanks for the information Mark, and thanks very much for the "list".

Saw this over at Captains Quarters and thought I would tip you off in case you are collecting this kind of stuff.
Basically, it is a document from Saddam's regime mandating urgent inspections of faciilities for contamination after Clinton's cruise missile strikes when the first round of inspectors were leaving.

The article of faith from the anti-war movement that Saddam was a secular Arab, and Osama was an Islamic fundamentlist, meaning they couldn't work together takes another hit.

Quite true Mr. Hutchinson. Saddam made efforts to mold himself in a more religious model starting in the early 90's by hiring all kinds of sheiks and implementing religious restrictions on his Baath party and the rest of the country.
