The US military has denied that al-Masri is in custody. Bill Roggio reports:

Less than 24 hours after a spokesman for the Iraqi Ministry of Defense announced the capture of Abu Ayyub al Masri, the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, the US military denied al Masri has been captured. “Neither coalition forces nor Iraqi security forces detained or killed Abu Ayyub al-Masri,” Major Peggy Kageleiry, spokeswoman for Multinational Division North, told The Associated Press. “This guy had a similar name.” Al Masri was reported to have been captured in Mosul.

Too bad, but facts are facts.

Too bad indeed.  Can someone pass that facts are facts observation on to “blackwater"boob?  He could benefit from it…
