Al-Qaeda Kidnapper/Beheader Captured In Iraq

Topics: Iraq

An al-Qaeda thug responsible for carrying out 116 beheadings in Iraq, including that of Japanese backpacker, 24-year-old Japanese backpacker Shosei Koda, has been arrested by the of Iraqi security forces:

The Interior Ministry identified the suspect as Hussein Fahmi, a 28-year-old al-Qaida in Iraq operative arrested over two months ago in western Baghdad.

Fahmi confessed to carrying out 116 beheadings, including that of 24-year-old Japanese backpacker Shosei Koda, ministry official Maj. Raid al-Mafraji said.

Fahmi, who is of Egyptian and Palestinian descent, was captured by the Interior Ministry's counterinsurgency Wolf Brigade after a tip from local residents, al-Mafraji said. "We managed to arrest three other terrorists with him and seized a huge amount of weapons," he said.

I assume that the Iraqi Interior Ministry 's Wolf Brigade will know how to deal with him "appropriately" (the brigades treatment of "detainees" is often "controversial").

How can one adequately describe an Islamist thug that has beheaded 116 of his fellow human beings? The acts say as much about Islamists, as they do about Hussein Fahmi.
