Ever since The Surge began taking shape the number one impact has been the round up of a series of top al Qaeda leaders from the al Qaeda In Iraq group which is supposedly the offspring of Zaqari’s al Qaeda group coordinating the terrorist organization’s efforts. With each new leader captured the US and Iraqi forces have been climbing the organization’s structure towards the current leader al-Baghdadi. We are now one step away from ‘beheading’ the al Qaeda organization in Iraq:

In other news, coalition forces captured a senior al-Qaeda leader and two others during raid Sunday morning in Baghdad.

Coalition forces identified the man as the gatekeeper to the al-Qaeda emir of Baghdad. He has alleged ties to several senior al-Qaeda members and is reportedly linked to a number of mass casualty, vehicle-borne improvised explosive device attacks in the Baghdad area.

He was detained along with another known al-Qaeda VBIED cell leader and one other suspect.

It would seem we are decimating al-Qaeda’s organization and all of them seem to be talking to some extent, not to mention any other intel we pick up with them.
