Top Al-Qaeda in Iraq Financer Captured
2007-03-18
Iraqi forces have arrested an Iraqi-born Palestinian suspected of acting as a financier for the al-Qaeda network, military spokesperson Qassim Mussawi said on Sunday. Mussawi said Mahmud Hamed Kamal al-Mathi - also known as "Abu Qutada the Palestinian" - was seized by troops on Saturday in Bab al-Moadham, a district of central Baghdad.

In a video of the suspect's interrogation shown to reporters, the 24-year-old bearded militant confirms his arrest and admits he received money from outside Iraq to fund insurgent attacks. "We found him with CDs, special evidence and documents related to the al-Qaeda network, and in his initial interrogation he admitted many crimes against the Iraqi people," Mussawi said. Mathi was born in Iraq to Palestinian refugee parents.

#10  Let's just hope that they captured his Rolodex too.

Hear, hear. And his laptop, and his cell phone, and his address book, and ....

I for one am glad they caught a moneyman. Catching moneymen will shut down an insurgency faster than anything.

May his questioning be fruitful and ... exquisite, in the B&D/S&M sense.

#7  One of Saddam Hussein's pet Palestinians, no doubt. I wonder if his parents are still living in the rent-controlled apartment they were occupying at the time of the invasion. More and more interesting people are being captured -- no wonder Al Qaeda thinks they're losing in Iraq.

#6  I am sure some of the missing millions of dollars given to the Palestinians as financial aid found their way to Kamal.

#3  Fine, now hang him. You have enough evidence, and a "trial" will just waste time. Do it quickly, so there's no chance of his escaping.
