BAGHDAD, Iraq -- A suspected al-Qaida linked insurgent leader accused
of financing attacks and recruiting fighters was captured in southern
Iraq, Iraqi police said Friday. The U.S. military also said it was
investigating reports of civilian casualties in fierce fighting in the
volatile city of Ramadi.

Issa Abdul-Razzaq Ahmed, who was detained during a raid Thursday on
a house in central Basra, has been traveling to neighboring countries
to collect funds for militant operations in Iraq, provincial police
commander Gen. Mohammed al-Moussawi said.

He also said the suspect, a 22-year-old Sunni, was on the Interior
Ministry's most-wanted list and was accused of being a major figure
in recruiting fighters. Police also found lists with the names of other
wanted militants, maps and propaganda CDs.

"Working under the guise of a businessman, he has been shuttling between
Syria and the United Arab Emirates to collect funds for the terrorists
in Iraq," Moussawi said.
