"Comical Ali" captured
Wed Jun 25, 1:48 AM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - The Daily Mirror says U.S. troops have arrested Iraq (news - web sites)'s information minister under Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, at a roadblock in a Baghdad suburb.

There was no immediate reaction from Washington on Wednesday.

The ex-minister, dubbed "Comical Ali" for proclaiming the defeat of U.S. forces even as they moved into Baghdad, had been hiding out at a relative's house watching satellite TV, but was caught on Monday night, the paper said in a report from Baghdad.

"He has some serious talking to do...this time," a "senior coalition source" was quoted as saying. There was no independent confirmation of the story and no other sourcing.

No, they have not caught al-Sahaf. He has repelled the US troops and is still fighting bravely. If they come any closer they will certainly die. Mightly al-Sahaf will be victorious.

Didn't he offer to surrender to the US forces weeks ago, but was turned down?

Obviously lies as there is no corroboration in any other news source.

Hope this is true and they won't hurt him, he is the king!

He was heard saying "The infidels have not captured me! We have destroyed them all, praise Allah!" upon arrest.
