From the article.....

The top al Qaeda cell leader in the western Baghdad area of Ghazaliyah was brought to justice July 15.

Soldiers from the “Punisher” Platoon, Troop A, 1st Squadron, 75th Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, captured the wanted individual during a night raid in Ghazaliyah.

According to the platoon leader, 1st Lt. Brandon McConnell, a native of Knox County, Tenn., the individual in questioning was successful in eluding capture for some time due to the lack of positive identification. It is believed he is responsible for multiple attacks against local Son’s of Iraq, or Abna’a al Iraq, and for an improvised explosive device attack against Coalition Forces in May.
