Iraqi officials revealed yesterday that they had captured al-Qaeda operative Hussein Fahmi in Baghdad two months ago. Fahmi, who is of Egyptian and Palestinian descent, confessed to carrying out 116 beheadings. An important element of this arrest is that it was carried out by the Interior Ministry's counterinsurgency Wolf Brigade after a tip from local residents. This arrest is one of a number of tip offs of foreign al-Qaeda terrorists provided by local residents to the Iraqi government.
