U.S. Says Zarqawi Aide Caught
LA Times, From Times Wire Services, July 13, 2005
WASHINGTON — American forces in Iraq have captured a key operative of militant leader Abu Musab Zarqawi, Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Tuesday.
Myers told the PBS program "The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer" that Monday's capture of Abu Abd Aziz, whom he called Zarqawi's "main leader in Baghdad," was "going to hurt that operation of Zarqawi's pretty significantly."
Myers said Aziz had been picked up "on the battlefield," but he gave no other details.
