About time the Iraqi's started taking part in fighting these guys.
Angry crowds in Iraq's violence-prone town of Ramadi captured a 30-year-old man known as The Butcher for the al-Qaida in Iraq terror group.
Amir Khalif was cornered by a vigilante mob who beat him before he was handed over to a passing patrol of U.S. Marines, Britain's Daily Mirror reported. The crowd apparently turned on Khalif after learning he was behind atrocities committed in his hometown.
His arrest has been hailed as a major victory in the war against the insurgents. Khalif earned the title of The Butcher because he would allegedly slice victims up while they were still alive, the report said.
Khalif was on a most wanted list drawn up by the U.S. troops. He is believed to have killed many Iraqis and has been linked to Iraq's most wanted terrorist, Jordanian born Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
