IRAQI forces have captured the leader of a top Iraqi insurgent group, Ansar al-Sunna, along with two of his aides north of Baghdad, state television has reported.

The arrest of Muntasir al-Jibouri was made in the town of Muqdadiya, about 80km north-east of Baghdad, in the troubled province of Diyala, the report said.

Ansar al-Sunna, one of the largest militant groups in Iraq, are close allies of al Qaeda in Iraq.

They have claimed responsibility for numerous suicide attacks including car bombings as well as beheadings of Shi'ite and Kurdish hostages.

One less on the list

Strikes me as very weird that Sunni Moslems and Shi'ite Moslems have so much hatred towards one another. All Moslems together yet rivals. That tells me something.
