In Isreal a court said that he should not be captured. Remember he is Palestinian and the israelis don't want him...
So he surely is not a "big fish" in the current terror organsations, and to take him as a proof for the "terror connection" i wishful thinking.

No doubt Abu Abbas will claim he's totally reformed and a man of peace and goodwill now. When American special forces picked him up, he just happened to have with him a few other suspects, several Yemeni and Lebanese passports, and a small arsenal of weapons, including a few rocket-propelled grenades. Hey, it's what every well-dressed man in the Middle East wears.
As for what the AP described as the "sprawling, recently abandoned terrorist training camp south of Baghdad" he'd been running, well, everybody's got to be somewhere.
