Bill Roggio says Al Qaeda's senior leadership was thought "to be attempting to regroup in Mosul. US and Iraqi forces have killed several key al Qaeda leaders in Mosul over the past several months". Mosul, you will recall, is the hub of one of the remaining al-Qaeda ratlines along the Euphrates. General Petraeus in testimony to Congress in early April, provided a interesting chart showing Mosul to be the hub of one of the remaining "ratlines" or infiltration routes stretching down from Syria.

Unconfirmed reports from Iraq indicate the Iraqi Army may have captured Abu Ayyub al Masri , the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq who was hand picked by Ayman al Zawahiri to succeed Abu Musab al Zarqawi. Al Masri has reportedly been captured in the northern city of Mosul, where al Qaeda is attempting to regroup after taking a beating from U.S. and Iraqi forces during the height of the surge in 2007. Reports state that he has been transferred to U.S. custody to confirm his identity.
Al Masri's capture would serve as a political and military victory for both the United States and Iraq.
