Another victory. From [1] Reuters, with thanks to JE:

The UNITED States military said today it had captured a senior al-Qaeda in Iraq member near an area where the group's leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in a US air strike two weeks ago....

The military did not mention the name of the senior al-Qaeda militant but said he was known for "facilitating" foreign fighters throughout central Iraq.
