The Guy with the Beard

According to a CNN report, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the al Qaeda leader of terrorist forces in Iraq, should be in custody at this time, awaiting trial right behind Spider-Hold Saddam.

Iraqi security forces caught the most wanted man in the country last year, but released him because they didn't know who he was, the Iraqi deputy minister of interior said Thursday.

Hussain Kamal confirmed that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi -- the al Qaeda in Iraq leader who has a $25 million bounty on his head -- was in custody at some point last year, but he wouldn't provide further details.

Just for reference, in case there's ever another chance at cornering this guy, use this description: He's the Middle Eastern guy with the beard!
