Baghdad : The Iraqi Ministry of Interior has announced that Iraqi forces have detained the assistant of Abu Ayub Al-Masri, senior Al-Qaeda leader, in Al-Anbar.
The ministry said Thursday that the Iraqi forces managed to arrest Nazal Sabar Al-Jughaify, aka Abi Al-Jarrah, who is an assistant of Abu Ayub Al-Masri, and another Al-Qaeda senior leader in western Iraq on Tuesday.
The statement said the arrest took place in Al-Ramadi, Al-Anbar’s largest city.
The arrestee was spotted and captured after two years of trying to track him down.
Iraqi Sahwa and tribal forces succeeded in a couple of years to clear Al-Anbar of Qaeda operatives, after it used to be a stronghold of the terrorist group.
