Al-Qaeda Chief In Iraq: Captured, Killed, Never Actually
Existed, Now Captured Again
Back story of Abu Omar al-Baghdadi betrays meaninglessness
of "war on terror"

 You
couldn't make it up if you tried. AFP today reports that Al-Qaeda
chief in Iraq, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, has been captured and arrested.
The problem with this is that al-Baghdadi has already been reported
captured, previously reported killed and even said to have never
actually existed by the U.S. military.
"Abu Omar al-Baghdadi was arrested today
in Baghdad," Baghdad security spokesman Major General Qasim
Atta told AFP.
"It was Iraqi forces who arrested him based on an intelligence
tipoff from someone," he added.
Also known as Abu Hamza al-Baghdadi and Abu Abdullah al-Rashid
al-Baghdadi, many questions have surrounded the so called leader
of al Qaeda's political front organization the "Islamic
State of Iraq".
He was thought to have been one of the figures to succeed the
equally shadowy Abu Musab al-Zarqawi as a leader of insurgent
forces in Iraq in 2006, after al Zarqawi, who was also previously
reported captured and killed on several occasions, was laid
to rest for good by the PR arm of the Pentagon.
The announcement of al-Baghdadi's capture today jars with multiple
previous reports from up to two years ago, detailing his arrest,
his death and even questioning his existence altogether.
In March 2007, the Interior Ministry of Iraq claimed that al-Baghdadi
had been captured in Baghdad. This was reported by AP and picked
up by the likes of CNN,
whose report stated that another insurgent had positively confirmed
al-Baghdadi's identity.
The U.S. military denied that al-Baghdadi was in their custody,
however, and one day later Iraqi officials retracted
their statements regarding his arrest.
Indeed this back and forth announcement of capture and later
retraction occurred
three times in the space of one week.

Then one month later, on May 3, 2007, the Iraqi Interior Ministry
announced
that al-Baghdadi had been killed by American and
Iraqi forces north of Baghdad.
However, in July 2007, the U.S. military reported that al-Baghdadi
had never
actually existed and was, for all intents and purposes,
a myth.
A reportedly high ranking "Al Qaeda in Iraq" detainee
identified as Khaled al-Mashhadani, then claimed that al-Baghdadi
was
a fictional character created to give an Iraqi
face to a foreign-run terror group, and that the "Islamic
State of Iraq" was a "virtual organisation in cyberspace"
created by al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Ayub al Masri.
The person claiming to be Baghdadi continued to release video
and audiotapes attacking U.S. occupation of Iraq, but refused
to show his face.
The U.S. military's claim that Baghdadi is a fictitious character
was then challenged in May 2008 after a police chief in Haditha
said Baghdadi's real identity is Hamed Dawood Mohammed Khalil
al Zawi. "He was an officer in the security services and
was dismissed from the army because of his extremism,"
the police chief told
al Arabiya television.
Now Baghdadi has been reported captured again!
This saga is another example of how a manufactured smoke and
mirrors propaganda veils reality. The "war on terror"
mantra continues to be propagated as justification to wage permanent
occupation and control over the middle east by the global elite.
Al Qaeda in Iraq, al Zarqawi, al Baghdadi and the legions
of other al qaeda operatives who have been reportedly
captured and killed over and over are used as interchangeable
PR tools.
Are or were any of them ever real? Possibly. However that matters
little now.
Once again 99% of the corporate media will no doubt enthusiastically
champion this latest arrest as a key victory in the continuing
war on terror, and the majority of Americans who even notice
will not take a second glance at the ludicrous back story.
