Sleiman Daoud al-Afari Goes Down

Here's a quiz:  Can you identify Sleiman Daoud al-Afari?  If you said yes, I don't believe you.  Anyway, here's the answer:  Sleiman Daoud al-Afari is the head of ISIS's chemical weapons programs and he was captured by US special forces weeks ago according to both Iraqi and US sources.  This is a big deal.  ISIS has been using chemical weapons for a while now, but they are rudimentary ones, not the super lethal stuff.  Chopping off the leadership of the ISIS effort to get more and better (worse?) chemical weapons should do much to slow down the terrorists.  Congratulations to the special forces who carried out this mission.
