ForeignPolicy: 10 Sheiks Working Against "Al Qaeda in Iraq" Nabbed in Brazen Daylight Attack

This can't be good.

Gunmen in Baghdad snatched 10 Sunni and Shiite tribal sheiks from their cars Sunday as they were heading home to Diyala province after talks with the government on fighting Al Qaeda, and at least one was later found shot to death.

The bold daylight kidnapping came as the top U.S. commander in Iraq said the threat from the terror network has been “significantly reduced" in the capital.

And please define "significantly reduced". I don't think I'm understanding this.
