A Democracy On the March Update from [1] AKI, emphasizing once again that Muslims worldwide have not separated into pro-jihad and anti-jihad camps, but that a "moderate" can turn into a "radical" at any time:

Baghdad, 25 Nov (AKI) - The Iraqi authorities say that they have arrested the leaders of three terror networks operating around Baghdad, two of which were headed by an interior ministry official. General Bassem al-Gharawy told the German newsagency DPA that the third network was headed by the manager of a private investment company.

The networks were based in the al-Ghazaliya and al-Jihad to the west of Baghdad. ''The arrests were carried out in a legal manner, the detainees confessed to have carried out robberies, murders and have set off bombs" al-Gharawy said. "The task of the interior ministry official was to provide weapons, equipment and official documents to facilitate their operations," he added.
