(CNN) -- Two men the U.S. says are key figures in Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's terrorist network are in U.S. custody following a sweep of Ramadi, Iraq, U.S. military sources revealed in a statement Saturday.

Soldiers of the Marine Expeditionary Force captured Saleh Arugayan Kahlil (Mahalawi), also known as Abu Ubaydah, on December 8 and caught Bassim Mohammad Hazeem, also known as Abu Khattab, on December 12, the release states.

According to the statement, the two men were cell leaders of the "Harun terrorist network," anl al-Zarqawi-affiliated group operating in Ramadi and western al Anbar province.

"This group is responsible for intimidating, attacking and murdering innocent Iraqi civilians, Iraqi police and security forces and business and political leaders throughout the Anbar province," it read.

because this maladministration is too stupid to take a moment and look at history. :eyes:

Or worse, they do know history and just don't care, or plan to make use of the chaos they create. :-(

2. So what....
How many 'key' members have we captured? When will the press wake up and start reporting the facts?

Does this mean that there will be a lessening of the attacks?

Does this mean that we are one day closer to victory?

No, it is just more propoganda from a regime and the lacky press who just parrot the latest information. Dr. Goebels would be proud.

Free Press? Don't make me laugh...

3. They were caught on December 8th and 12th, respectively
Lot of good it did between then and now. I'm sure it will do no good going forward as well.

8. suuuuuuuuure
pretty convenient if you asks me. some americans die and suddenly they find a couple 'high-ranking terrorist...'. it seems to me every guy they capture is always a 'high-ranking...'. this is getting old. they need some new material.
