Zarqawi 'aide' captured in Iraq

Iraqi police have captured a top aide of al-Qaeda suspect Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the US-led coalition says.

The man, Umar Baziyani, is known to have ties to several extremist groups in Iraq, according to a statement by the US military.

He is believed to be responsible for the deaths of scores of innocent Iraqi citizens, the statement said.

Mr Baziyani, who was arrested on Saturday, is said to be providing information to coalition authorities.
