Zarqawi aide arrested in Iraq

Baghdad - Iraq has apprehended an aide to the country's most-wanted man, al-Qaeda chief Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, in the city of Ramadi, says an interior ministry.

It said that the suspected insurgent, Salah Hussein Abdel Razak, had a mobile telephone with a picture of himself and Zarqawi together, but a statement didn't specify when the arrest took place.

In a separate incident, the statement said Iraqi police arrested Omar Ahmed Salah, known as Abu Jibril, "a leader of what is known as the Brigades of Al-Tawhid Wa Jihad", a militant group believed to be linked to al-Qaeda.

The arrest took place on Monday morning in the south of Baghdad, the ministry said.
