THE Iraqi Government said today it had captured a key terror suspect who allegedly confessed to hundreds of beheadings.

Ahmed Hussein Dabash Samir al-Batawi was arrested by a terrorist combat unit in Baghdad yesterday, according to the prime minister’s office.

The unit also seized documents, mobile phones and computers that contained the names and addresses of other wanted terrorists and information on Islamic extremist groups, the Government said in a statement.

“Al-Batawi is considered at the top of the terrorist list,” the statement said.

He had “committed the ugliest crimes against innocent civilians especially in Hurriyah neighbourhood that witnessed many massacres.”

The Government said al-Batawi confessed under questioning that he beheaded hundreds of Iraqis in Baghdad and other Iraqi provinces.

Yeah and if they catch the two or three guys working with him, that accounts for all the beheaded bodies all over the place, right?
