   ....an Iraqi branch of Al Qaeda, [1]have been captured in the past few
   weeks.

     On Wednesday, the Government of Iraq released the names and photos
     of several suspected senior-level Ansar al Sunna emirs who were
     captured by Coalition Forces during a series of raids in
     mid-November.
     The AAS network is responsible for improvised explosive device
     attacks and suicide attacks on Iraqi government, Coalition Forces
     and Iraqi civilians. The AAS network is also responsible for
     multiple kidnappings, small arms attacks and other crimes in the
     central and northern part of Iraq.
     One terrorist emir, Abu Mohammed aka Ismail, AAS Emir of Yusifiyah
     was killed during a raid late November.

   Three national leaders and seven regional leaders are included in the
   list of captives. (Hat tip to [2]Omar.)
