Authorities in the northern city of Mosul announced the arrest of yet another key terrorist leader of the al-Qaida in Iraq terrorist organization and its Ansar al-Sunnah affiliate, the second in seven days, on charges of organizing and financing killing sprees. The terrorist organization is led by Jordanian-born Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who carries a $25 million bounty.

　　"There is an improvement in security and in the performance of the security forces, but members of the army and police do cause mistakes, which do happen," said Laith Kuba, a spokesman for Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari.

　　Spree在此表示“放纵的行为”，此外还有“狂欢，纵饮”等含义，例如：a buying spree（疯狂购物）；be on the spree（沉湎于欢闹中）；go on the spree（痛饮）。

　　据悉，库巴在巴格达举行的新闻发布会上说，萨达姆面临500多项指控，而就每一项指控提起诉讼是“浪费时间”，因此将就12项“证据确凿”的指控进行诉讼审理。
