Iraqi security forces caught terror leader Abu Musab Al Zarqawi but released him because they didn't realize who he was, the deputy interior minister said, according to CNN. The Jordanian-born Al-Zarqawi, head of al-Qaida in Iraq, is the most wanted man in the country, with a USD 25 M price on his head.
