7月14日，美國軍方宣布已于9日抓獲綁架并殺害埃及駐伊拉克首席外交官伊哈卜·謝里夫的主要嫌疑人哈米斯·法赫達維（又名阿布·塞巴）。阿布·塞巴是“基地”組織在伊拉克的一名高級頭目，涉嫌參與了殺害謝里夫以及襲擊巴林和巴基斯坦駐伊外交官員的行動。外電報道如下：The U.S. military on Thursday announced the capture
of two key members of Iraq's most-feared terror group, including one suspected in
the kidnap-slaying of an Egyptian envoy and attacks on senior diplomats from Pakistan
and Bahrain.
Khamis Farhan Khalaf Abd al-Fahdawi, known as Abu Seba, was arrested
last Saturday following operations in the Ramadi area west of Baghdad, the
U.S. military said in a statement. He was accused of involvement in the
abduction and killing of Egypt's top envoy in Iraq and attacks on
Pakistani and Bahraini diplomats earlier this month.
"Seba served as a senior lieutenant of al-Qaida in Iraq, and is
suspected in attacks against diplomats of Bahrain, Pakistan and the recent
murder of Egyptian envoy, Ihab Salah al Din Ahmad al-Sherif," the U.S.
statement said. "Al-Qaida ordered the attacks against Arab diplomats in an
effort to reduce support for the government of Iraq according to a
military spokesman."
Operation在此表示“軍事行動；作戰演習”，例如：Operation Sea 93（海洋“九三”行動）；a base of
operations（作戰基地）；combine operations（海陸空三軍聯合作戰）；mopping -up
operation（掃蕩戰）等。
據悉，埃及駐伊拉克首席外交官謝里夫于本月2日晚在巴格達被綁架。“伊拉克圣戰基地組織”7日稱已殺死謝里夫，并警告還將追殺“盡可能多的大使”來懲罰支持伊拉克新政府的國家。
