A Treasure Trove Of Al-Qaida Information Found

If all this is true, it might be possible to really hurt al-Qaida in Iraq.

Iraq's national security adviser said Thursday a "huge treasure" of documents and computer records was seized after the raid on terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's hideout, giving the Iraqi government the upper hand in its fight against al-Qaida in Iraq.

He called it a "huge treasure ... a huge amount of information."

When asked how he could be sure the information was authentic, [National Security Adviser]al-Rubaie said "there is nothing more authentic than finding a thumbdrive in his pocket."

"We believe that this is the beginning of the end of al-Qaida in Iraq," al-Rubaie said, adding that the documents showed al-Qaida is in "pretty bad shape," politically and in terms of training, weapons and media.

"Now we have the upper hand," he said at a news conference in Baghdad. "We feel that we know their locations, the names of their leaders, their whereabouts, their movements, through the documents we found during the last few days."

Then they only have to deal with the rival militias who are killing more Iraqi's all the time.
