I tagged this article for neutrality about three weeks ago, and with no progress I came back to rewrite some of the more loaded words in it. (I'm really not happy with describing someone as a senior spokesperson of "the Iraqi resistance" implying it's a single entity when most people agree that the insurgency in Iraq was lots of different militant groups pursuing a whole variety of aims. Neither do I like the only reference being a blog with a blatant agenda to cheer on the insurgents.) I've now gone back to this, but having had a look in GNews, there only seems to be a trickle of coverage around the time of the arrest, which is a bit WP:NOTNEWS. If anyone who knows Iraqi politics better can explain why he is notable, I will withdraw this nomination and go back to a cleanup, but otherwise I don't see much purpose in keeping this article.
