Al Qaeda

Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, one of the al Qaeda operatives behind the 1998 embassy bombings in Kenya & Tanzania is believed to have been arrested in Mombasa, Kenya. Iraqi sources are claiming Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, the leader of al Qaeda’s Islamic State in Iraq, has been captured. This is the third such claim this week, and is false.
