Khamis Farhan Khalaf Abd al-Fahdawi, known as Abu Seba, was arrested last Saturday following operations in the Ramadi area west of Baghdad, the U.S. military said in a statement. He was accused of involvement in the abduction and killing of Egypt's top envoy in Iraq and attacks on Pakistani and Bahraini diplomats earlier this month.

　　"Seba served as a senior lieutenant of al-Qaida in Iraq, and is suspected in attacks against diplomats of Bahrain, Pakistan and the recent murder of Egyptian envoy, Ihab Salah al Din Ahmad al-Sherif," the U.S. statement said. "Al-Qaida ordered the attacks against Arab diplomats in an effort to reduce support for the government of Iraq according to a military spokesman."

　　Operation在此表示“军事行动；作战演习”，例如：Operation Sea 93（海洋“九三”行动）；a base of operations（作战基地）；combine operations（海陆空三军联合作战）；mopping -up operation（扫荡战）等。

　　据悉，埃及驻伊拉克首席外交官谢里夫于本月2日晚在巴格达被绑架。“伊拉克圣战基地组织”7日称已杀死谢里夫，并警告还将追杀“尽可能多的大使”来惩罚支持伊拉克新政府的国家。
