A Pentagon spokesman said Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi was now in Guantanamo Bay. He was heading to Iraq to take over al-Qaeda operations and possibly plot attacks on Western interests, he said. He was accused of commanding attacks on coalition forces in Afghanistan, and of involvement in plots to assassinate Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf. Pakistani Interior Minister Aftab Khan Sherpao described the arrest as a "welcome development". An Afghan defence ministry spokesman said it was "a major success" that would "help to get to the high-ranking terrorist network figures and... have a deeply negative effect on the network". According to information about him provided by the Pentagon, Mr Hadi was a key paramilitary commander in Afghanistan during the late 1990s, before taking charge of cross-border attacks against US and coalition troops from 2002 to 2004. A US intelligence source told the BBC he was arrested late last year in an operation which involved the CIA. It was not clear where he was detained, or where he has been held since. 'Appropriate' treatment A spokesman confirmed that he had arrived at Guantanamo Bay, and was being processed. "Administratively and medically we're reviewing the information about him. He goes through a medical review... he's being put into our facility and treated like the rest of the detainees," Cmdr Rick Haupt told BBC News from Guantanamo Bay. He said the Red Cross would be permitted to visit Mr Hadi. He "will be treated appropriately... in accordance with US law and international obligations", the Pentagon said. He would undergo a combatant status review to determine whether he should face a military tribunal, it said. He is being treated as a "high-value detainee". There are 14 other such detainees among nearly 400 prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera says Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi is one of al-Qaeda's most senior operational commanders. According to the Pentagon information, he served in Saddam Hussein's Iraqi army, reaching the rank of major before crossing into Afghanistan to join al-Qaeda. 'Well-respected' Born in Mosul, Iraq, apparently in 1961, he allegedly rose to a position of power and responsibility within al-Qaeda. He is described by the US state department as one of Osama Bin Laden's "top global deputies", personally chosen by the al-Qaeda leader to monitor operations in Iraq. A state department website advertised a reward of up to $1m (£500,000) for the capture of its quarry, who was described as 5ft 11in (180cm) tall, with a pale complexion, "a moustache and a long, heavy beard that is starting to grey". "He has a reputation for being a skilled, intelligent, and experienced commander and is an extremely well-respected al-Qaeda leader," it said. Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said the suspect was "one of al-Qaeda's highest-ranking and senior operatives at the time of his detention. "He is associated with leaders of extremist groups allied with al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and including the Taleban," he added.

The network takes militants from Iraq to Iran for training, and transports explosives from Iran into Iraq, the military alleges. "Intelligence reports also indicate the secret cell has ties to a kidnapping network that conducts attacks within Iraq." the military said. The suspects were arrested in the Baghdad Shiite stronghold of Sadr City, where support for Iran is high. The Bush administration has long insisted that Iran is helping insurgents create chaos in Iraq. Many of the powerful, improved explosive devices used in Iraq, and the parts used to make them, have been coming out of neighboring Iran, the U.S. military said. U.S.: Prisoner killed by other prisoners A prisoner died after an "assault by other detainees," the U.S. military said. Authorities are investigating the cause of death at Camp Bucca, a coalition prison in southern Iraq. At least six prisoners have died in the past year in detainee-on-detainee violence, the military reported. There are more than 19,000 prisoners in two facilities in Iraq. Nine people were arrested in raids targeting al Qaeda in Iraq, the military said. The operations were in the northern city of Mosul, in Baghdad and in the nearby areas around Salman Pak and Ramadi. A driver and four passengers died when their car exploded Thursday evening along the road that connects the northern cities of Tal Afar and Mosul, a Mosul police official said. Coordinated truck bombings in Shiite districts of Tal Afar last month killed 152 people. That attack was the deadliest single attack since the start of the war and it sparked reprisal shootings in a Sunni neighborhood the next day, killing 70 people. Three Marines were killed in combat Thursday in Anbar province, the U.S. military said. The number of U.S. military fatalities in Iraq stands at 3,337, which includes 7 civilian contractors.

"I was abducted at age 15 by the Japanese Imperial Army," she said. "I was put on a Japanese naval ship. There were 300 military men there and five girls, including myself." Lee is among a dwindling number of "comfort women" still alive. The term "comfort woman" is used to describe the thousands of girls and women whom Japan forced into sex slavery before and during World War II. Lee and other protesters, many of them elderly Korean-Americans, came to Washington this week to protest as President Bush hosts Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. They are demanding Japan issue an official apology once and for all for what happened to the estimated 200,000 "comfort women" -- many of whom ranged in age from 12 to 20 -- more than 60 years ago. Bush, Abe have 'personal visit' on issue Bush hosted Abe at Camp David, Maryland, on Friday as part of the prime minister's two-day trip to the States. With Bush at his side, Abe, through a translator, told reporters he has "deep-hearted sympathies" for what the "comfort women" went through then. Abe said he spoke with Bush and a U.S. congressional delegation about the issue. "I do have deep-hearted sympathies that the people who had to serve as 'comfort women' were placed in extreme hardships and had to suffer that sacrifice," Abe said through a translator. "I, as prime minister of Japan, expressed my apologies, and also expressed my apologies for the fact that they were placed in that sort of circumstance." Bush said he and Abe had a "personal visit on the issue" and that "he told me what was on his heart about the issue, and I appreciated his candor." "The 'comfort women' issue is a regrettable chapter in the history of the world, and I accept the prime minister's apology," Bush said. Abe infuriated the international community in March when he said there was no evidence the women were forced into sex slavery. He later changed his position to conform with a 1993 apology by Japan's chief cabinet minister to those "who suffered immeasurable pain and incurable physical and psychological wounds as comfort women." But that statement did not end the controversy. 'My parents thought I had died' Lee, a Korean citizen, abhors the term "comfort women" to describe the horrible ordeal into which she was forced. She refers to herself as a former "sexual slave." She says she, like the other girls and young women, was forced into sexual slavery for Japanese troops during World War II. She was held for three years. She once tried to escape and hid in a cave, but Japanese soldiers found her, beat her and tortured her until she lost consciousness, she said. "After three years, I went home. My parents thought I had died," Lee said. "They were making a ceremony for my spirit because they thought I was dead. I looked like a beggar -- beaten, bleeding." She added, "I looked terrible and they thought it was my ghost that had come back. They began to hit me and tried to get rid of me. But they finally realized it was me, and my parents fainted." Like most of the women forced into sex slavery, Lee never spoke about it publicly until the early 1990s when the South Korean government quietly urged the women to come forward for help. Many of the women were from Korea and China. "I would rather die than disclose my shameful past," she said from Lafayette Park, across from the White House. "It was so shameful, so embarrassing, so awkward to disclose my painful past in public. But I felt I had to speak up." After decades of denying the existence of the sex slavery, Japan's chief cabinet secretary in 1993 conceded women were forced into prostitution and that the Japanese army was involved to some degree. Tokyo has considered that statement as an official apology, although the former sex slaves and their governments have said it didn't go far enough. In January of this year, Rep. Mike Honda, D-California, a Japanese-American, sponsored a resolution condemning Japan for its former "comfort stations" and urging Abe to apologize officially. Honda says Japan has never officially acknowledged the awful truth of what happened, and he believes the Japanese parliament should admit culpability in a formal document that is signed by the prime minister. Asked if the resolution could hurt U.S.-Japanese relations, Honda said no. "You have disagreements between friends, and friendship becomes tighter when you resolve them," he told CNN. "Reconciliation is a very powerful thing, like healing a wound. " Lee testified in February before the U.S. Congress in support of the nonbinding resolution. Flanked by protesters, Lee walked slowly but deliberately across the street to the White House gate Thursday, surrounded by a pack of television cameras, most of them from South Korean media. A young mother, Korean-American Florence Lowe-Lee, brought her two daughters, Annette, 11, and Janet, 9, to the march. She said she is trying to explain to them what happened to the women and girls so many years ago. She wants her daughters to respect "every country, no discrimination, but when something is wrong, it needs to be corrected. And it can be forgiven and forgotten. But it needs to be corrected somehow." There are only an estimated 300 "comfort women" still alive in South Korea. Many of them live in poverty. Yet Lee is not asking for compensation, and she says she is not marching just for herself. "There is still sexual slavery in the world today, and there won't be a solution until Japan apologizes," she said.
