(Changes typo in para 2 to read Ayyub not Ayyab) BAGHDAD, April 9 (Reuters) - Iraqi authorities captured a senior figure from al Qaeda on Wednesday, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry said. Major-General Abdul-Karim Khalaf said the captured man, Nazal Sabar al-Jughaify, also known as Abu al-Jarrah, was a senior lieutenant to the Sunni Arab militant group's leader in Iraq, Abu Ayyub al-Masri. Jughaify was captured in the western province of Anbar, and would be brought to Baghdad for questioning, Khalaf said. The U.S. military said it had no information on the capture.
