Iraq said it captured the leader of a top Iraqi insurgent group, Ansar al-Sunna, along with two of his aides north of Baghdad, state television reported on Saturday.
The arrest of Muntasir al-Jibouri was made in the town of Muqdadiya, about 50 mile northeast 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-Qaida in Iraq. They have claimed responsibility for numerous suicide attacks including car bombings as well as beheadings of Shiite and Kurdish hostages.
