Zarqawi's cameraman caught

Sky News:

The Iraqi army has reportedly captured a man said to have worked as the personal cameraman for late al Qaeda leader Abu al Zarqawi.

Jordanian-born al Zarqawi had appeared in several video tapes posted on militant internet sites.

One clip purported to show him with his face covered, speaking to the camera before slitting the throat of a Western hostage.

Other footage showed him claiming reponsibility for various terrorist acts.

Alleged cameraman Khalid al Hayani was captured by Iraqi troops in Diyala province, northeast of Baghdad, Iraqi defence ministry spokesman Mohammed al Askari said.

He was apparently captured with some of his tapes. This guy was an integral part of the enemy's media campaign which they maintain is half the war. The capture also points to the value that Iraqi troops can bring to this war. They get better intelligence and they can move to attack easier.
