The notable names among them are Brigadier General Moayed al-Saleh a high ranking officer in the anti-terrorism efforts in Iraq and Huthaifa al-Batawi a  al Qaida leader who is accused of leading a attack on a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2010_Baghdad_church_attack\">Christian Church in Baghdad<\/a> that killed at least fifty in October of last year.

Critics said that officers there appeared to underestimate the threat posed by the inmates. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The only  real good news out of all of this is that the revolt failed and Huthaifa al-Batawi is dead.
