The Insider: Daily Terrorism Report

June 4 -- A top aide to Jordanian terror chief Abu Musab al Zarqawi has been captured in Iraq, U.S. military officials announced on Friday. The man, Umar Baziyani, is known to have ties to several extremist groups in Iraq and is wanted in connection with a series of attacks on coalition forces in Iraq. The U.S. military described him as an associate of Zarqawi.

And the FBI said that it has received "credible" reports that suggest some of the seven terror suspects highlighted by the bureau last week have been seen overseas, a top official said on Thursday. Attorney General John Ashcroft described the seven individuals as being associated with al Qaeda.
