Several reports have detailed the capture of Sami Muhammad Ali Said al-Jaaf, described as the "top bomb maker" for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi:
The captured bomb-maker, Sami Muhammad Ali Said al-Jaaf, was seized in Baghdad on Jan. 15. He is believed to have taken part in three-quarters of the car bombings in the capital since the war began, the spokesman, Thaier al-Naqib, said in a written statement. Major car bombings here began with an attack on the Jordanian Embassy in August 2003 and have killed hundreds.Mr. Jaaf has confessed to making the explosives used in the bombing of the Jordanian Embassy, which killed at least 11 people, Mr. Naqib said. He also confessed to taking part in the car bombing later the same month in Najaf that killed at least 95 people, including Muhammad Bakr al-Hakim, a cleric who founded the most prominent Shiite political party.
But few have followed up with the story of a second captured Zarqawi lieutenant:
Mr. Naqib also issued a later statement saying that on Jan. 14 security forces captured Mr. Zarqawi's chief of propaganda, Hasam Hamad Abdullah Muhsin al-Dulaimi, known as Dr. Hassan. Mr. Dulaimi had not served long in the post; he took the job after American-led forces killed the former propaganda chief, Hassan Ibrahim, in a Baghdad raid on Dec. 13, Mr. Naqib said.
We can only wonder who will do his PR work for him now?
