Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) leaders, to include information on 
scheduled raids and Coalition Forces vulnerabilities.  Al 
Jaff is associated with multiple Ansar al-Islam (AAI) and 
mujahideen leaders in Northern Iraq.  Al Jaff has had at 
least 15 contacts with Abu Zacheria, a leader of the Ansar Al 
Islam.  He was detained on suspicion of passing sensitive 
information to a terror cell.  Al Jaff was denied access to 
all US. military installations on 28 Sep 2009. His former US. 
military supervisor, COL Michael E. Kurilla, stated the 
following: "He was personally talking to the top Al Qaeda 
leader in Mosul and passing them information, times of raids, 
vulnerabilities of Strykers, TTPs to attack us, etc.  Al 
Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) was even trying to make him a suicide 
bomber due to the access he had.  We intercepted all of this 
and then when we detained the AQI #3 in Mosul, he confirmed 
it.  We even had a detainee stating he was the greatest 
threat to Coalition Forces in Mosul based on his base access. 
This TASK FORCE arrested him and sent him straight to Bucca 
(Note: Camp Bucca Detention Facility. End Note.). We need to 
make sure he does not slip through the cracks. He is very 
smart - speaks 5 languages, has military training."  Source:
